    Third-quarter 2009 highlights included:

    - The launch of CANAL+ WEEK-END, a new subscription package that provides access to exclusive CANAL+ programs from
       7:00 p.m. on Friday to 9:00 p.m. on Sunday.
       
       
    - An increase in aggregate audience share to 4.2% of viewers across France in the first nine months of the year.
       CANAL+ is the only direct-to-air channel to withstand the expansion of France's digital terrestrial TV network.
       
       

    Subscription revenues for the first nine months amounted to E1,330 million versus E1,357 million in the year-earlier period due to the temporary impact of the quickening migration from analog to digital service. The percentage of digital subscribers stood at 90% at end-September, representing a 12-point increase compared with a year earlier.

    The total subscriber base, which includes home and institutional subscriptions in France, the overseas departments and territories and Africa, came to 5.2 million subscriptions at end September.

    Subscriber satisfaction with the programs aired by the CANAL+ channels remained very high, at 87%.

    Advertising and sponsoring revenue rose E2 million to E94 million from E92 million for the prior-year period.

    CANAL+'s consolidated income before net interest expense, tax and other revenue and expenses from ordinary activities, as determined by applying the cap and floor applicable under the distribution agreement with CANAL+ DISTRIBUTION, will amount to between E57.3 million and E64.6 million in 2009.
