Disney+ to debut late March in France in exclusive deal with Canal+

PARIS (Reuters) - Walt Disney Co will launch its Disney+ streaming service on Vivendi SA's pay-TV business Canal+ platform by the end of March next year, executives of the two groups said in a joint interview released in the daily Les Echos on Sunday. Traditional media companies like Canal+ are under pressure to find ways to bulk up their content as they face competition from deep-pocketed online streaming platforms such as Netflix Inc and newcomers in the sports rights business such as Chinese-owned Mediapro.
