The authority of audiovisual and digital communication regulation did not retain the generalist chain project of Xavier Niel, individual shareholder of the “world”.
Exit Xavier Niel and “Six”, his general channel project which wanted to “bring more to viewers, more to creation, and more to public debate”. The authority of the regulation of audiovisual and digital communication (Arcom, ex-CSA) decided, Wednesday, February 22, to entrust M6 the frequency which it historically occupies and whose authorization expires on May 5.
From May 6 and for ten years, the chain chaired by Nicolas de Tavernost will continue to appear in the sixth row of the service table of the TNT offer.
Six, if it had been retained, would not have been able to present a full service before September 19, had warned the team gathered around Xavier Niel (shareholder on an individual basis of the world), February 15 in front of the Arch.
