Molotov will be the main benefactor from Salto's closure.  They have rights to content from TF1 (except the pay tv side), M6, NRJ Group (NRJ12/Chérie 25), Altice (BFM/RMC channels) and France Télévisions.

Speaking of which, Molotov plans to boost its FAST and AVOD offering Mango during the coming months, including spinning off this offering into a new brand and a separate platform. Co-founder Jean-David Blanc has also told (in an interview with Satellifacts) the entire fuboTV group (including Molotov) will be renamed this summer, citing a need to find a stronger brand recognition and allow for a global expansion beyond North America, France, Spain and French Africa. An improved and unified user interface and experience is also being worked with both fuboTV and Molotov developers, combining Molotov's existing UI framework and delivery infrastructure with fuboTV's in-app sports data integration, and will debut in the French operation this summer.
