France Télévisions catch-up service on Free

Public broadcaster France Télévisions’ online catch-up service, Pluzz, is being made available via the IPTV service of Iliad Telecom/Free, according to local reports.

The deal means that Free and Alice (the former Telecom Italia unit acquired by Free) subscribers equipped with the latest generation of set-top boxes and an adequate internet connection will be able to access the number of programmes from France 2, France 3, France 4, France 5 and France Ô for seven days after their initial broadcast.

Free launched its Freebox Replay catch-up service in June, offering programmes from about 30 channels.
