Canal+ expands Myanmar offering

France’s Canal+ has agreed a raft of carriage deals in Myanmar that will see channels from Celestial Tiger Entertainment (CTE) and Rewind Networks become available in the country.

Asian operator CTE is making its Chinese movie network CCM, action-entertainment channel Kix and horror service Thrill available on the recently launched Canal+ service in Myanmar. All its channels will be offered with subtitles in the local language.

Meanwhile, Singapore-based channel operator Rewind is launching its Hits network in the country via Canal+, offering classic TV shows such as Knight Rider and The Golden Girls.

The Canal+ pay TV service in Myanmar is operated by the French company’s international arm and local TV operator Forever Group.
