Chefclub Channel to launch on Pluto TV France

Food-themed entertainment brand Chefclub will be launched as a standalone channel on Pluto TV France. The partnership comes on the heels of Chefclub’s debut on Pluto TV’s channels in the US, Latin America, Spain and the UK in April this year.

Philippe Larribau-Lavigne, Paramount’s Country Manager for France said : “We are very happy to launch Chefclub on Pluto TV. Cooking and lifestyle are popular genres among our audience and Chefclub’s world-renowned brand and content will be a great addition to our service. This exciting partnership with Chefclub arrives with Pluto TV reaching 100 channels in France, which shows the ever-growing interest of audiences for quality entertainment, all for free.”

Marie-Laure Marchand, SVP Global Consumer Products & Business Development, Chefclub, commented, “We are very proud to be a part of Pluto TV’s growth in Europe, starting here in our home territory of France. This collaboration is a key step in our strategy to build FAST partnerships around the world, and eventually establish our own channels in major territories like the US, where we have a huge following and viewership.”
