 PROFILE
CANAL+ adds up to one of Europe's largest pay-TV operators. The company's CANAL+ pay-tv channel, which has about 15 million subscribers, is devoted to classic and current movies, documentaries, sports, and music. The company is a unit of French conglomerate Vivendi Universal, which purchased all of its operations (except for the French channel) in 2000. The move was part of a three way merger between Vivendi, Canada's Seagram, and CANAL+, which created the new media giant Vivendi Universal. French authorities wanted to guarantee CANAL+'s French channel remained independent, and Vivendi Universal made an arrangement to own only 49% of the French pay-TV broadcaster.
