Arcom was alerted to the English-language inserts on screen during the diffusion of a basketball match between France and the Czech Republic, shown on France 4 on August 24, 2022.
According to the January 18, 2005 notice on the use of the French language in audiovisual media, " the principle that the use of French is compulsory in television and radio programs is subject to certain exceptions ". One of these exceptions concerns programs, or parts of programs, intended for an international audience, as is the case here.
Arcom therefore found that the publisher had not breached its obligations.
