History

MultiThématiques is 100% owned by Canal+ France. 20% by Lagardère Group and 80% by Canal+ Group, which itself is a subsidiary of the Vivendi.[2]

In November 2000, Eurochannel was acquired by Multithematiques Inc, the short-lived American subsidiary of the French company of the same name, from Abril, for the sum of $8 million.[3] Its CEO Michel Thoulouze had high hopes following the buying, in an attempt to "reawaken taste" for European content and culture. Under new ownership, Eurochannel expanded to Spanish-speaking countries of Latin America on February 1, 2002, with a soft launch in Mexico a few days earlier on January 21.[4]
