Euronews on MTS

MTS will carry Euronews, the most-watched news channel in Europe.  The channel will be part of MTS’s French channel group “Variété” and will provide French-speaking subscribers of MTS Ultimate TV with a French feed of international news.

Arnaud Verlhac, Worldwide Distribution Director of Euronews said, “Euronews’ multilingualism is well-matched with Canadian multicultural market expectations. These new agreements are a step forward in our strategy to continue reinforcing Euronews’ strong presence on all Canadian platforms, where the channel reaches already close to one million Canadian households.”

Corine Babani, Distribution Manager North America said, “This step is a positive sign from our valued partners − adding Euronews in their most accessible packages consolidates the channel visibility and allows to expand its audience in the Canadian broadcasting scene. At the same time it gives Canadian viewers a different perspective on the news.”

Euronews has been available in Canada since 2003 and is now carried on Rogers, Cogeco, Videotron, TELUS, Ethnic Channel, GLWiz, Bell Fibe, Sogetel and CCSA association members such as Eastlink, CableCable, CoopTel reaching close to one million households.
