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 for the regulation of audiovisual and digital communication (Arcom, ex-CSA) decided, on Wednesday February 22, to entrust M6 with the frequency it historically occupies and whose authorization expires on May 5 next.
From May 6 and for ten years, the chain chaired by Nicolas de Tavernost will continue to appear in sixth place in the service table of the TNT offer.
SIX, if it had been selected, would not have been able to present a full service before September 19, had warned the team gathered around Xavier Niel (individual shareholder of the World), on February 15 in front of Arcom.
