South African company MultiChoice launched the Nordic version of FilmNet in 1985, and SuperSport followed in 1995.

The channels were renamed Canal+ in 1997 after MultiChoice sold most of its European operations to French company Groupe Canal+.

At the same time, the company changed its legal name to C More Entertainment, but it retained the right to use the “Canal+” trademark.

Belgian SBS channels VT4 and VIJFtv launched their VOD offering under the C-More brand in October 2006.

In May 2010 Telenor bought 35% of shares in C More Entertainment from TV4 Gruppen for SEK787 million, but sold them back in 2014.

"Canal+ Zap/ Rød/Punainen" (Red) was launched on 22 September 2001, allowing cable and satellite viewers to choose an alternative match to watch during fixtures of the FA Premier League and National Hockey League.

At the same time, IPTV operators in association with satellite operator Canal Digital launched an interactive VOD service called "Canal+ Play", accessed from the customer's set-top box, letting the viewers watch any seasons from any show ebroadcast on Canal+ and any movie that was showing on the channels.

On satellite it has since been merged to the Canal Digital Go service, covering every channel on the platform and also available without a box online (much like its British equivalent Sky Go).

The service initially showed single matches from Canal+ channels on a PPV basis, but soon after launch customers could also subscribe to a season ticket.

In 2009 it was expanded to cover an archive of all shown matches and the ability to watch live streams of all Canal+ Sport's channels.

In July 2009, C More Entertainment launched Canal 9, a new sports channel, and another program for men.

Canal 9 was free for Canal+ Sport and Canal+ Total customers on cable, satellite and IPTV and shared many sports rights with Canal+ channels, along with its independently purchased rights commissioned by TV4 Gruppen.

On 1 October 2009 Canal+ launched the SF-kanalen, a channel which broadcasts Swedish movies and miniseries from the libraries of Svensk Filmindustri.

Later that year Canal+ announced it would launch a second Finnish-language sports channel called Canal+ Aitio (transl.

On 1 June 2011 Canal+ launched two movies and series channels named Canal+ Family and Canal+ Emotion.

In October 2012, C More launched Filmnet in Sweden, an online streaming service to compete with Netflix and HBO Nordic.

On February 28, 2022, C More's streaming service was discontinued in Norway in favour of TV 2 Play.
