This year, the audiences were again excellent. The Tour de France will continue to be broadcast unencrypted until 2030 on the antennas of the France Télévisions group. The contract, which would run until 2025, has therefore been extended for another five years. Christian Prudhomme, the boss of the organization of the Tour, confirmed this, this Sunday evening, during the program Vélo Club. “We are delighted with it,” he explains. I quite often face readers with the local press, the first question is: will it remain free and on France Télévisions? That’s the strength of the Tour, it’s a free show by the roadside, but also in front of the TV. It’s great, and not just because it’s a house that matters to me, and I’ve worked there for years. »
For her part, Delphine Ernotte Cunci, president of France Télévisions, said in a press release: “The Grande Boucle is part of the history and heritage of the French. Every summer, the Tour de France and now the Tour de France Women thrill the French. I am therefore very proud and happy to see France Télévisions continue its partnership with ASO to bring one of the finest sporting events in the world to as many people as possible. »
Images broadcast in 190 countries
Same satisfaction, for the general manager of Amaury Sport Organization Yann Le Moenner: “This new agreement promises even more innovations to come, to celebrate the champions and champions and to fascinate millions of television viewers and fans in the 190 countries where the images of our events shine. »
