CANAL+ has officially joined the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE), becoming the first French company to list on the exchange through a secondary listing on its Main Board.
Big changes are happening in South Africa’s media industry.
CANAL+ says it is confident it can revive MultiChoice following its acquisition of the broadcaster, signaling a new chapter for one of Africa’s biggest entertainment companies.
The announcement marks a significant milestone for both CANAL+ and South Africa’s financial markets, providing a boost to the JSE at a time when attracting major new listings has become increasingly important.
With growing competition from streaming platforms and changing viewer habits, all eyes will be on how CANAL+ plans to transform MultiChoice and strengthen its position across Africa.
The question is:
Can CANAL+ successfully turn MultiChoice around and restore its growth?
