What Antenne Reunion does

Antenne Réunion is a private regional broadcasting company founded in 1990 and headquartered in Saint-Denis, La Réunion, a French overseas department in the Indian Ocean. The company broadcasts television content — including series, fiction, shows, films, and news — to residents of La Réunion, with direct on-the-ground coverage across all 24 communes of the island and live broadcasting of popular and festive events year-round. It is led by co-founder and chairman Nassir Goulamaly, with Julien Cabrier as CFO, and operates with a headcount of 51–100 employees.

The company's core product is 'Antenne Réunion +', an authenticated live TV streaming platform accessible via its website antennereunion.fr. The platform aggregates four themed channels — Direct TV, Exo TV, Passion Bollywood, and Passion Novelas — delivering local news, entertainment programming (including series such as Grey's Anatomy: Station 19 and Enquête Exclusive), local magazine content, and culturally targeted programming aimed at the island's South Asian and Latin American diaspora communities. The underlying technology is a web-based TV streaming service with user authentication, layered on top of its traditional linear broadcast operations.

The business model is B2C and based in a single geography (La Réunion, with stated reach into the broader Indian Ocean region). Antenne Réunion has raised $5.5M across disclosed funding activity, most recently a 2016 round led by Industries & Finances; no pricing model, advertising structure, or revenue figures are publicly disclosed, and no partnerships, M&A activity, or AI/ML capabilities are documented in the available data.
