Molotov, the leading French TV streaming service, directly accessible from remote control
Paris, July 28, 2021
Molotov is strengthening its partnership with TV manufacturer Hisense by adding a dedicated button on the manufacturer's latest generation remotes.
Hisense and Molotov have been partners since 2020 and are now deepening their alliance with the launch of Molotov on Hisense remotes for its TV series manufactured after June 2021, with the state-of-the-art flagship A6G series and A7GQ TV series with Quantum Dot technology.
This move demonstrates Hisense's willingness to make Molotov’s French leading streaming TV service easily accessible via its proprietary Vidaa platform.
Through this new button, Molotov’s platform and its 200+ channels and content publishers will be as readily accessible as zapping linear TV channels.
In its free version, Molotov offers 40+ channels, including 27 digital terrestrial channels, as well as MANGO, its owned and operated AVoD service.
Users can upgrade their experience to enjoy more programmes and features by subscribing to one of Molotov’s paid offers starting at €3.99 per month without commitment.
The continuous updating of Molotov’s application will also provide an upgraded and enhanced user experience, without users having to replace the hardware.
Hisense, which recently celebrated its 50th anniversary, is one of the world's largest producers of televisions, home appliances and air conditioners. Hisense is the world's fourth largest manufacturer of TVs and the fourth largest manufacturer of refrigerators. The group employs over 75,000 people worldwide. In 2017, Hisense became the first ever Chinese consumer electronics brand to sponsor the FIFATM World Cup.

In the summer of 2020, Hisense announced a 3-year partnership with the Paris Saint-Germain football team. The company also entered into a multi-year partnership with Esport team Fnatic in 2020.
