TV5MONDE, the world’s no. 1 French-language general-interest television network, has unveiled a brand-new identity, with more varied programming and hotel-ready services to cater to international guests in the region.
Available in over 200 countries and territories, TV5MONDE is a francophone network that broadcasts a large diversity of content such as movies, series, documentaries, international news, and cultural shows from France, Belgium, Switzerland, Canada, Quebec and Monaco, reflecting the richness of francophone culture. In the Arab world, its regional channel TV5MONDE Maghreb Orient offers programmes selected for the region, with Arabic subtitles, at no cost.
The TV5MONDE network comprises eight regional entertainment channels and two thematic channels with twelve different subtitles worldwide, three FAST channels and an on-demand streaming platform, TV5MONDE+ that offers six different subtitles to its users. The network has just unveiled a new brand identity.
“TV5MONDE has not only unveiled a brand-new, modern look for its channels, it has also enhanced its offering to hotels, and its regional channel, TV5MONDE Maghreb-Orient, remains free-to-air in the Middle East,” commented Ingrid Gressier, Head of Distribution, Marketing and Sales, Out-of-Home for TV5MONDE.
“Its general programming and Arabic subtitles make it an invaluable addition to the TV channel line-up of any hotel. Hoteliers will be happy to know that the TV5MONDE+ app can now be installed very easily on connected Smart TVs and any Apple or Android device. It is completely free and it has just been upgraded to offer all of its programmes in one place: live, catch-up and VOD. This way hotel guests can easily access the programmes they are used to watching, while relaxing in their hotel room.”
TV5MONDE+ now offers over 7,000 hours of programmes on-demand including films, series, documentaries, entertainment, youth programmes and cultural shows. All are subtitled in six languages, including Arabic and English. This multilingual accessibility makes TV5MONDE+ an ideal service for hotels welcoming international guests, who can enjoy French-language programmes with subtitles in their native language.
In the Gulf region, the TV5MONDE Maghreb Orient channel can easily be added via ArabSat and NileSat, at no cost. In the UAE, E& and Du also offer the channel.
“TV5MONDE is available in millions of hotel rooms, international airlines and cruise line companies as well as prestigious institutions around the world, such as the United Nations in New York, and the reason for such a large reach is simple: TV5MONDE is the most comprehensive French-language network in the world,” added Gressier.
Africa and the Middle East are more and more prominent in the channel as the network actively supports African content creators: TV5MONDE now airs original creations from the Maghreb and sub-Saharan Africa.
TV5MONDE is the easy choice for hoteliers looking for an international channel to add to their line-up. Its global offer, live and a la carte, and wide range of subtitles make it accessible to world travellers, wherever they come from.
