Maison+

* New version
* Old version

**Maison+** is a French thematic television channel dedicated to the home (architecture, decoration, DIY ...) and the garden. Available since 2006 on cable, satellite and xDSL television, it stopped broadcasting on March 27, 2015. The version exported to Poland is currently called Domo+.

*Du côté de chez vous TV* was created on October 16, 2006 on the Canal package. Its shareholders were *Communication and Programme International*, which owned 85% and *Galfin*, which owned 15%. The name of the channel as well as the logo is probably a reference to the TF1 micro-show *Du côté de chez vous*. On January 1, 2009, the channel became *Télé Maison*.

Following several calls for tenders to buy the channel, which was experiencing financial difficulties (AB and Télévista were then candidates), it was taken over by the Canal+ Group, which was joined by several channels such as Cuisine.TV and Seasons.

On April 5, 2012, the channel became *Maison+*, for the sake of consistency between the names of all the canal+ group's channels, and changed its skin and programming, just like *Cuisine+*.

From September 2012, the programming of *Maison+* is modeled on that of *Cuisine+*.

The Canal+ group closes the channel on 27 March 2015, 3 months before 3 other canal+ group channels: Cuisine+, Jimmy and Sport+.

## Programs

Maison+ broadcasts shows bought from France Télévisions, such as *Côté Maison* (France 3) or *Question Maison* et *Silence, ça pousse!* (France 5), as well as creations: *Les jardins d'Aurélie*, *Du côté des pros,* *Le Magazine de la Maison* or *Contreplaqué*. It also includes broadcast programs:

* in Belgium (on the RTBF) with *Une brique dans le ventre* or *Jardins et loisirs*.
* in Canada with *Decorate your life* or *My home... signed Manon LeBlanc* on Canal Vie, *Méchant changement* on VRAK. TV, *Passion houses* on Historia.
* in the UK with *The Home Show* and *The* City Gardener and *Grand* Designs on Channel 4*, How* To Be A Property Developer on Channel Five.
* in the United States with *Rock et récup* ("Junk Brothers") on HGTV, *Naturally design* ("Pure Design") on HGTV.

According to Franck Appietto, director of the entertainment channels of the Canal+ group, other productions will gradually replace most of the current foreign programs of Télé Maison, said *"too far from the values of Canal +"*.
