Because of the addition of + letter on Canal+'s thematic channels, Planète Thalassa became Planète+ Thalassa on May 17, 2011 as well as the other Planète + channels.
The channel closed his gates on the 1st day of the new year. It is because of the Découverte (Discovery) thematic too strong that CANAL+ & France Télévisions decided together to close the channel. The CANALSAT subscribers can still watch the other Planète + channels from channel 80 to 83.
