Orange reportedly to carry TF1 catch-up service

France Télécom/Orange plans to add commercial broadcaster TF1’s catch-up TV service MyTF1 to its Livebox offer within the next few weeks, according to reports.

Financial daily Les Echos has reported that the pair are set to announce a deal imminently following several months of negotiations. In addition to catch-up services, MyTF1 offers certain new shows on video-on-demand, with further interactive applications in the works. Up to now, the service was only available to the 300,000 households equipped with a Bbox from Bouygues Telecom, with about 100,000 regularly using it.
