Orange cinéma séries

In November 2009, Orange cinéma séries will be celebrating its first birthday! In just a few months, this innovative service has established itself on the French pay TV television market, thanks to a radically new approach to the audiovisual content offering.
With Orange cinéma séries, the Group is keeping pace with the change in TV consumption marked by:
-    The success of series, which, like films, are becoming spectacular productions
-    The rapid development of online and mobile video consumption
-    The switch from family viewing to personalized individual consumption

Orange cinéma séries is in line with these new trends: the first television package available on TV, PC and mobile in Europe, as well as the first service to offer all the programs broadcast on its five dedicated channels on demand.
Orange cinéma séries offers general audiences as well as the most demanding viewers all the benefits of an editorialized service, with a selection of first exclusives on top films and entirely new series thanks to privileged agreements with the leading producers of programs (Warner, HBO, Fidélité, MGM, etc.).

unique editorial approach
   100% cinema and series programming.
Orange cinéma séries firmly puts the spotlight on the major films shown on its channels by combining them with dedicated programming that is only available on demand. In this way, subscribers can watch a first exclusive of a film in the evening on Orange ciné max, and then continue with the journey in their own time, discovering bonus features on the film or even a selection of other feature films from the same director.
The package also focuses on the richness and diversity of series, from general public programs to highly original dramas and comedies.

  Package of five channels covering five themes that fit together well:
Orange ciné max: make way for the truly spectacular
Orange ciné happy: the channel for the whole family
Orange ciné choc: the 100% adrenaline channel
Orange ciné novo: the channel with a focus on independent cinema
Orange ciné géants: the classic cinema channel

  Original shows presented by leading figures who are experts in their areas, like Sophie Soulignac or Ollivier Pourriol, to plunge into the world of cinema and series and keep up-to-date on the sector’s latest news (releases, festivals, etc.).

…served by powerful and easy-to-use technological innovations
A multiscreen offering to watch the five channels live and the on demand programs on five different screens (TV, PC, mobile)
A catch-up TV service to ensure that you do not miss out on any of your programming. Subscribers can watch or rediscover all the programs on demand, up to 30 days after they have been shown on any of the five channels. In addition, each channel has its own selection of films and series available on demand
A restart feature, making it possible to go back to the beginning of a film or series that is showing by simply pressing the OK button on the remote control
A service designed with mobility in mind. Subscribers can download the programs of their choice on to a PC, and transfer them to a portable video player to be enjoyed where and when they want.
