The wind may be running for Canal+. While working on an agreement between his channel and LFP Media for the distribution of Ligue 1+, Maxime Saada, did not achieve his ends and discussions ended in failure. As a result, a certain anger is on the side of subscribers to the encrypted chain. This is for example the case of one of them, which is far from being a stranger.
Well known to viewers, especially those of France Télévisions for having notably commented on the Tour de France between 1989 and 2000, Patrick Chêne publicly annoyed a certain strategy which he attributed to Canal+. On his social networks, he posted a first message this Saturday. “To 'punish' the LFP, the Canal+ group deprives its subscribers (my 1st subscription dates from 1984) of simple access to Ligue 1. I have no box (Starlink in the countryside) so it's the brothel. Thank you C+. »»
An hour later, a new message from the seventy-nine year old man. “I finally managed to find Ligue 1 on my television via Dazn and my LG television. I no longer go through Canal+. This can encourage me to stop my subscription, 41 years after my 1st subscription. I don't understand, Maxime Saada. Explain to me your strategy. »» Arrested, the chain owner responded.
Maxime Saada responds to Patrick Chêne
“We did the maximum to distribute the new channel this summer, by mobilizing the C+ teams in the midst of a summer truce. But a last minute requirement from our interlocutors, while all the conditions (…) were met, compromised the launch. »» An answer that has not fully convinced Patrick Chêne who in turn answered it.
“I do not understand the total absence of canal on the course of the Ligue 1 enthusiast.” This time, Maxime Saada remained silent.
The messages of unhappy subscribers in any case flowered in the discussion thread, many accusing Maxime Saada and his group of “Lying” and “Do everything to kill Ligue 1”. In the meantime, the French championship is not broadcast for Canal+subscribers.
