Arcom has selected projects for new channels from Daniel Kretinsky and Ouest France.
An explosion in the French audiovisual landscape. This Wednesday morning in plenary, Arcom recorded the removal of the TNT frequency of C8 and NRJ 12. The media manager, who some have criticized for his incompetence, therefore chose a strong approach. Sanctioned in many cases, C8 did not take into account the sanctions imposed by Arcom and has collected more than 7.6 euros in fines due to the road trips of its star host, Cyril Hanouna. The audio police undoubtedly want to remind people that the obligations set by the regulator cannot be contradicted forever. Cnews, another channel under the direction of Vincent Bolloré, is retaining its TNT broadcast, despite numerous calls to order which has been the subject.
As for NRJ 12, undoubtedly the small audience and many reissues do not convince Arcom on the sign of public interest or of the majority. After hearing the representatives of 24 projects in July, nine members of the college of the audio regulator announced the remaining candidates in the running for the share of channels put into the game It was chosen to replace C8 and NRJ 12 , the files of Daniel Kretinsky, and his channel RéelsTV, as well as of Ouest France, with OFTV.
In its press release, Arcom said it had made its decision based on “the benefit of each project for the public with regard to the importance of the pluralism of the socio-cultural streams of expression”.
New channels with defined contours
RéelsTV, the audiovisual project of Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky, owner of the CMI France group (Marianne, Elle, TV 7 days, Franc-Stireur…) decided to “correct the French with truth”explained at the beginning of the month that the president of CMI France and Editis, Denis Olivennes, is Figaro. General 3D channel, built around documentaries, debates, with current affairs program every day from 7 pm to 9 pm, and entertainment with cultural programs every evening. The media mogul, also the owner of the Casino and lender of newspapers Release itexplained to Arcom “Watch with great regret the corruption or even destruction of public debate.”
The project defended by the Sipa Ouest-France team was also chosen by Arcom. OF TV presents itself as a channel “locally produced”, from Rennes. In FigaroChairman of the board of directors of Ouest-France, François-Xavier Lefranc, presented “a channel of real life and real people” is intended to highlight the areas and primarily address “Young people aged 25 to 49 who live outside urban centers”. Life and public programs will be organized around several pillars: daily talk shows, news programs, newspapers, documentaries, cinema and history. The Sipa Ouest-France group, owned and managed by a non-profit group, will retain exclusive control of the channel. We will still have to wait a little before the launch of this new channel, which will not see the light of day until September 1, 2025.
In total, there are 24 projects in operation for 15 DTT frequencies that will end in 2025. The project of independent and left-leaning media The media is one of the applications built by Arcom. For C8 and NRJ 12, the removal of their frequencies will not mean a total suspension of their operations. Multiple broadcasting opportunities are offered through the web, boxes and connected TVs.
