Vivolta was a French pay-tv-channel devoted "to the art of everyday feminine living" launched on December 10, 2007 at 8:45am. The channel ceased operations on December 31, 2018 at midnight.[2]

History

[edit]

Created by Philippe Gildas and Gaspard de Chavagnac, Vivolta was operated by Télévista. Initially named Vista, the channel had to change its name before its launch,[3] due to a copyright dispute with the Microsoft giant for its Windows Vista software.[4]

Vivolta targeted the senior public segment (50 to 65 years),[5] considered to be more mobile than other age groups. In April 2010, the programming was revised to fit a younger and more feminine audience.

In March 2012, Discovery International France took a 20% stake in Télévista to accompany the latter in its bid to obtain a TNT (Télévision numérique terrestre en France) frequency and in strengthening the Vivolta channel.

Programming

[edit]

Vivolta presented itself as "the channel of the art of everyday feminine living",[6] since 2010 the company Televista has become beneficiary, three years after its launch.[7]

From 2010 to 2012, Vivolta programming dealt with practical and everyday questions about family, couple, well-being, psychology, home, and cooking. The core programming targeted women aged 25 to 49. Since September 2012, Vivolta had evolved its programming into lifestyle entertainment programs.

Broadcasting

[edit]

Vivolta was initially exclusive on CanalSat and Numericable until 2011 when it arrives at ADSL operators. Having a poor audience, it ceased broadcasting on satellite and on Canalsat on 31 March 2014.[8] It is no longer broadcast on SFR since 4 May 2015.[9]

Vivolta was broadcast on French ISP networks (Orange, SFR and Free), on certain cable networks in France, Belgium, Luxembourg and Switzerland (Numericable, BeTV) and on Proximus TV.
