The channel launched on 22 August 2017 as part of the company new strategy to provide to their subscribers their own television channel, like their competitor Orange S.A. with the OCS channels.

Altice Studio is available exclusively on SFR, and Canal+ since 2020. Its subscribers have the option to subscribe to Altice Studio.

Most of the Altice Studio programmes were also available on SFR Play, the subscription video on demand service owned by SFR, until 30 June 2020 when the service became only for kids and the adult programmes are unavailable.

In November 2017, SFR Sat packages were launched on Fransat with 3 offers: SFR Play, SFR Sport and Altice Studio.[3][4][5] SFR Play and Altice Studio were removed of Fransat on 1 November 2019, but RMC Sport kept available.[6][7]
