Orange in talks to carry digital-terrestrial pay channels

France Télécom/Orange is reportedly in talks with French digital-terrestrial pay-TV channels about including them in its IPTV and satellite pay-TV offers.

Orange hopes to add the channels to its line-up by the end of the first half of this year, and has asked media regulator the CSA for authorisation.

Orange hopes to add five channels currently available via pay-DTT offers CanalSat and TV Numéric – LCI, Eurosport, Paris Première, Planète and TF6.
