KOF 5" show broadcast on May 3, 2024: intervention with Sport en France
Arcom was alerted to the KOF 5 mixed martial arts (MMA) event shown on the Sport en France channel on May 3, 2024.
It noted that the broadcast had begun at 8:38 pm, in breach of article 2 of the deliberation of October 21, 2020, insofar as Sport en France is a TV channel whose access is free to viewers.
In addition, while this retransmission was accompanied by a category IV rating and the corresponding pictogram sign, the Authority noted that the sign "not recommended for under 16s" did not appear on screen.
Arcom therefore summoned the service editor's attention to the need to ensure compliance with regulations concerning the protection of youngsters, and in particular with the deliberation of October 21, 2020.
