PARIS—Leading European studio Marc Dorcel brings its brand into a whole new region of the world with the launch of new TV channel Dorcel TV Africa, available exclusively on Les Bouquets CANAL +, which is carried in over 25 African countries.
Touted as "the first 100 percent African XXX channel in Africa," the new outlet adds to the studio's portfolio that includes Dorcel TV and Dorcel XXX in Europe, which boast over 3 million subscribers across the continent, and the Dorcel TV channel launched in Canada six months ago.
Dorcel TV Africa is currently available on the EVASION+ package on channel 405, and can only be accessed using a parental code. The content is broadcast in French and English 24 hours per day, or between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m., depending on country regulations.
According to the studio, the content on the new channel is shot entirely in Africa with local producers, directors and performers. Expounds a company announcement, "The Marc Dorcel company has developed exclusive partnerships with several African producers to produce films that accurately adhere to our ethical code of conduct, notably through the protection of the actresses and actors. All programs are produced in safe sex conditions.
"The channel engages in HIV prevention and promoting positive sexual practices," the announcement adds. "The company has also established partnerships with local and Pan-African associations, has produced informative shows that discuss safe-sex subjects in responsible and healthy practices, and finally, safety-awareness campaigns are broadcast on the channel."
Commented Marc Dorcel CEO Gregory Dorcel, "The Dorcel TV Africa development is a very exciting project for us. As a responsible member in the industry, Marc Dorcel has always listened and responded to the demands of its public, with the understranding and respect of each society and culture, originally French, then European, and most recently, North American where our films have been a big success.
"We are delighted to be able to develop and create a 100 percent African channel," Dorcel continued. "Other than simply creating TV channels, we feel the need to establish positive adult-entertainment principles, just starting to surface in Africa. We are putting all our energy into developing exciting programs for the public and to promote a positive vision of responsible sexual pleasure."
