Subscribers to the Salto streaming platform will no longer be able to access it after March 27, 2023.
” We regret to inform you of the shutdown of the Salto platform on 03/27/2023.” It is a terse email received by subscribers to the subscription video on demand (SVOD) platform on February 17. We learn the official date of Salto’s disappearance: it will therefore be March 27, in just over a month.
Salto subscribers will be refunded on a pro-rata basis
By giving itself six weeks of margin, the service ensures that those who have been debited at least in February will still be able to have access to the catalog (although reduced) of Salto during its last month of existence.
” If your subscription is still active on March 27, it will be automatically terminated. You will then no longer be able to access your SALTO account, and will no longer be charged », detailed the official website.
” You will be automatically refunded in proportion to the number of days remaining in your current month, directly to the payment method associated with your account..”
This announcement comes a day after TF1, M6 and France Télévisions, the three shareholders, had officially confirmed that the French SVOD platform would close its doors. It is already impossible for new subscribers to register.
There is, in the disappearance of Salto, the feeling of a huge waste, after years of struggle to achieve a French alternative to the American leaders of the SVOD.
