Canal+ Cinéma(s) (formerly known as Canal+ Jaune and Canal+ Cinema) is a French pay-TV thematic channel that is devoted to movie programming.
Originally, the channel launched on 27 April 1996 as "Canal+ Jaune" on CanalSatellite and on cable as a multi-broadcast programme service.
The application was approved and the CSA assigned a frequency on the multiplex R3 DTT from where it begins to be issued as early as 21 November 2005.
On 8 February 2022, Canal+ launched a second movie channel, Canal+ Grand Écran, devoted to the great names in cinema, whether films, actors or directors.
[1][2] On 1 September 2023, the Canal+ channels changed their logo, along with the launch of Canal+ Box Office, devoted to the biggest recent hits in cinema, and Canal+ Cinéma became Canal+ Cinéma(s), and the latter is focusing on films by major French and foreign directors who have won awards and prizes at international festivals, with films winning prizes at Cannes and the Oscars, for example.
