  • Bilan De L'économie Des Chaînes Payantes Année 2009
    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
