PARIS & MONTREAL — Marc Dorcel and Vanessa Media announced today that the companies have inked a deal to launch of the Dorcel TV Canada channel, in both English and French, on Saturday.
Marc Dorcel is already well-known in Canada, and its productions have been very successful there for many years over VOD services and under license on cable, IPTV and OTT networks.
The company began working with Vanessa Media in 2017, and the two groups are now joining forces again to launch Dorcel TV Canada. The upmarket adult channel, with specific programming for Canada as well as video-on-demand content, is adapted and localized in French and English to give its audience the best experience possible.
Anne-Marie Losique, CEO of Vanessa Media, said the new channel is intended to appeal to a wide audience, both male and female, with the two companies having pooled their expertise to create a channel with diverse choice, and original and sophisticated content.
"Dorcel is the most luxurious adult brand name in the world and I am very proud to be bringing their premium channel Dorcel TV to all Canadians through a local version broadcast from Montreal,” Losique said.
Gregory Dorcel, CEO of Marc Dorcel, said the brand is well-known in Canada and its productions have been enjoyed by Canadian audiences for many years.
“As a French company we have a special bond with this place, and have been waiting to find the best local partner because we want to make sure we are offering the best services to our audience. I am delighted and very confident to launch this channel and VOD offering with Vanessa Media, as we share the same philosophy, oriented around bringing our audience what they want: sophisticated, quality erotica,” said Gregory Dorcel, who will deliver a keynote address at next month’s XBIZ Berlin show.
“I am confident that this channel will be a great success and we are 200 percent committed to entertaining our audiences in Canada and Quebec."
