    Bilan de l’économie des chaînes payantes Année 2009 les bilans du CSA Décembre 2010 CONSEIL SUPÉRIEUR DE L ’AUDIOVISUEL Direction des programmes Direction des études et de la prospective Service de l’information et de la documentation Bilan de l’économie des chaînes payantes Année 2009 Bilan 2009 de l’économie des chaînes payantes Comme chaque année, le CSA a dressé le bilan de l’économie des chaînes payantes. Cette analyse, qui ne prend pas en compte la chaîne Canal+, porte sur 99 des 117 chaînes payantes existant fin 2009. Elle fait notamment apparaître que près de 42 % des foyers équipés d’un téléviseur étaient à cette date abonnés à une offre multichaîne payante. Synthèse Un bilan qui porte sur 99 chaînes payantes Le bilan réalisé par le CSA entend par télévision payante tout service qui n’est accessible que par le biais d’un abonnement, que ce soit pour une offre globale, couplée ou non avec d’autres services (internet, téléphone), ou pour des services vendus à l’unité. Cette définition ne tient donc pas compte du financement des services. Au 31 décembre 2009, le nombre des services payants conventionnés ou autorisés en langue française (hors Canal+) diffusés sur le câble, le satellite et l’ADSL en France métropolitaine était de 117, contre 116 en 2008. Parmi ceux-ci, 6 étaient autorisés et 111 conventionnés. Toutefois, les données statistiques qui font l’objet de l’étude portent sur 99 services édités par 58 sociétés. 13 sociétés éditent plusieurs services chacune - Canal J (3 chaînes) : Canal J, June et Tiji ; - Disney Channel

    When I Open My Eyes, I'm Floating in the Air in an Inky, Black Void. the Air Feels Cold to the Touch, My Body Shivering As I Instinctively Hugged Myself

    When I open my eyes, I'm floating in the air in an inky, black void. The air feels cold to the touch, my body shivering as I instinctively hugged myself. My first thought was that this was an awfully vivid nightmare and that someone must have left the AC on overnight. I was more than a little alarmed when I wasn't quite waking up, and that pinching myself had about the same amount of pain as it would if I did it normally. A single star twinkled into existence in the empty void, far and away from reach. Then another. And another. Soon, the emptiness was full of shining stars, and I found myself staring in wonder. I had momentarily forgotten about the biting cold at this breath-taking sight before a wooden door slammed itself into my face, making me fall over and land on a tile ground. I'm pretty sure that wasn't there before. Also, OW. Standing up and not having much better to do, I opened the door. Inside was a room with several televisions stacked on top of each other, with a short figure wrapped in a blanket playing on an old NES while seven different games played out on the screen. They turned around and looked at me, blinking twice with a piece of pocky in their mouth. I stared at her. She stared back at me. Then she picked up a controller laying on the floor and offered it to me. "Want to play?" "So you've been here all alone?" I asked, staring at her in confusion, holding the controller as I sat nearby.
