Netflix has announced a partnership with TF1 Group, a French media company, to offer TF1's free-to-air TV channels and on-demand content to its subscribers in France.
Subscribers will have access to live sports matches, scripted dramas, soap operas, and unscripted shows through their existing Netflix subscription.
The deal may help Netflix fulfill legal requirements to invest in French-language content.
This partnership is a first for Netflix to host channels from a third-party network, similar to output deals in the US and the UK.
TF1 holds around 24 percent of the French linear TV market, making this agreement significant.
The collaboration may set a precedent for other struggling networks to partner with streaming services to reach wider audiences.
