Arcom opinion of September 28, 2023 on the report on the implementation of the contracts of objectives and means of France Télévisions, Radio France and France Médias Monde for the year 2022.

Preamble

The contracts of objectives and means (COM) of France Télévisions, Radio France and France Médias Monde, signed for the period 2020-2022, are built around a manager common to the three companies and objectives specific to each of them.

This opinion covers the performance of these three contracts for the year 2022. It is based on the information provided in the performance reports submitted by the three companies and on discussions with their representatives.

For public audiovisual media, 2022 was marked by the announcement of the abolition of the public audiovisual contribution, which was accompanied by a one-year extension of the COM 2020-2022 and the continuation of debates on the reform of public audiovisual and its financing, fueled in particular by the report of the parliamentary mission on the future of public audiovisual.

By 2022, the number of COM objectives achieved in full, or for the majority of the indicators they include, remains significant (21 out of 34 objectives). However, there will be a slight drop compared with 2021 (23 targets achieved).
