Canal+ unveils its system for 2019
The news caused a stir in the world of motorsport TV rights. The Canal+ Group has acquired the World Rally Championship (WRC) for several years from the 2019 season. Two weeks before the launch in Monte-Carlo (January 24-27), the private channel unveiled its system.
Three specials will be broadcast live : I'ES1 La Bréole-Selonnet on Thursday January 24 from 19:30 p.m. on Canal+ Sport, theES12 Sant Léger les Mélèzes-La Bâtie Neuve 2 on Saturday January 26 between 14 p.m. and 15 p.m. on Canal+ andES16 La Cabanette-Col de Braus 2 on Sunday January 27 between noon and 13:30 p.m. on Canal+. These three specials will be visible in the clear, which means that it will not be necessary to subscribe to Canal+.
Behind the microphone, we will find the two headliners of the programs F1, Namely Thomas Senecal to the presentation and Julien Fébreau as a commentator. The latter will be accompanied by the Citroën driver Stéphane Lefebvre.
Laurent Dupin will play the role of special envoy in the company of a former rally glory, Francois Delecour. The editorial team will be completed by journalists Amandine Morhaim, Stéphane Genti and Jules Deremble.
This trio will provide reports, insides, interviews with competitors live after the specials, as well as live duplexes in the Canal Sport Club on Saturday on Canal+. Finally, the 2005 French rally champion Nicolas bernardi will intervene regularly throughout the season as a consultant.
The usual summaries of each stage will be broadcast, as will the best-of of almost an hour at the end of the test.
" For each rally, we will offer all the specials and magazines available on our channels: Canal+, Canal+ Sport, Infosport+ and myCanal, specifies Thierry Cheleman, Sports Director of the Canal + Group. Furthermore, the Canal+ Group will offer each season unencrypted, notably on its free channel C8, live specials and race summaries.
Le WRC further enriches Canal+'s motor sports offering, with the Moto GP -another big novelty of the season from March 2019 – and still Formula 1, GP2, Formula 3, Formula e,IndyCar or the French Rally Championship. »
