Molotov is offering an alternative free access to its own services to subscribers of the Salto platform, which is ending its activities this Monday, March 27 (Satellifacts, February 17).
This offer, entitled Molotov Welcome, allows reception of more than 80 channels, including all DTT but with the exception of the M6 group channels which will only be present for 2 months. It also allows access to replay services and is available on all devices with up to two simultaneous screens in Full HD.
To subscribe, former Salto subscribers must connect to molotov.tv/welcome before April 2, by producing proof of subscription to Salto (invoice or nominative subscription confirmation email). Their subscription must have been active in February and/or March 2023 and they must not have subscribed to Molotov in the 12 months preceding the subscription to the new offer.
This is a specific offer, not usually offered on Molotov and which can be compared to the Molotov Extra offer (5.99 euros per month) with two simultaneous screens instead of four, no recording in the cloud possible and no direct control. Molotov Extra also allows reception of M6 group channels without time limit. At the end of the 12 months and unless the offer is terminated before the anniversary date, Molotov Welcome subscribers will switch to the Extra offer.
Launched on October 20, 2020, Salto had almost a million subscribers (Satellifacts, February 15). The subscription was €7.99 per month (or €5.80/month for a one-year subscription). Let us recall that the three founding shareholders of Salto, France Télévisions and the private groups M6 and TF1, took the decision to stop the platform after the abandonment last September of the merger project between TF1 and M6, which would have allowed the takeover of the platform by the new entity thus formed. Salto employed 42 people on permanent contracts and eight on fixed-term contracts in mid-January.
