Why is the "s" pronounced in plus in the recording? I always learned that in the expression "plus de" the S is silent.

It's wrong here. The s is silent when doing ne ... plus. It's pronounced when it means +, as in the channel name. This is hard and Duo inexcusably gets it wrong a lot.

Not always. An example is"Canal+" tv channel is always pronounced "canal plus" with the s.

But I hope someone who knows the rules can explain it!

The original question asks why the s in plus is pronounced. Can anyone say why?
