C More Entertainment is a pay TV company that used to operate as Canal+. It targets the Nordic countries and has a separate channel in Sweden (C More Film).

As Canal+, it was launched in 1997 by French Pay-TV operator Canal+ on the Direct To Home platform Canal Digital, and later on Cable Television. In 2003, two private equity firms, and Nordic Capital, acquired 100% of Canal+ Television from the international media conglomerate Vivendi Universal. At the same time, Nordic Canal+ was renamed C More Entertainment. It retained the right to use the name “Canal+”. On February 9, 2005, SBS Broadcasting Group announced the acquisition of C More Entertainment. Coincidentally but not explicitly related to this, Belgian SBS channels VT4 and VIJFtv launched their VOD offering under the C-More brand in October 2006. On June 16, 2008, Swedish TV4 Gruppen announced that it had acquired C More Entertainment from German ProSiebenSat.1 Media for 320 million. In May 2010 Telenor bought 35% of the shares in C More Entertainment from TV4 Gruppen for SEK 787 million.

The main competitors of C More Entertainment in the Nordic countries are Viasat Film and Viasat Sport, which belong to Modern Times Group. Canal+ was renamed "C More" in September 2012.
