Arcom publishes its reasoned opinion on France Télévisions' results in relation to its strategic plan.

Article 47-4 of the French regulatory authority for audiovisual and digital communication (hereinafter referred to as Arcom) entrusts the French regulatory authority for audiovisual and digital communication (hereinafter referred to as ARCOM) with the task of appointing, for five years, the person in charge of the presidency of France Télévisions.

Pursuant to the same article, "four years after the start of the presidents' term of office [...], the French regulatory authority for audiovisual and digital communication issues a reasoned opinion [...] on the results of France Télévisions [...] with regard to [its] strategic project [...]. This opinion is forwarded to the relevant standing committees of the French National Assembly and the French senate.

In drawing up this document, Arcom referred to the strategic orientations set out in France Télévisions' presidential candidacy and those defined by the French government, notably in the company's contract of objectives and means for the years 2020-2022 and its amendment for 2023.

The Authority has taken into account the findings and assessments formulated as part of its ongoing monitoring of France Télévisions' activities since 2020, in particular in the reports on the execution of the specifications and in the opinions on the report on the execution of the company's contract of objectives and means. In order to assess the efficiency of the public company's organization and the economic aspects of its operations, the Authority has also referred to years prior to the current mandate.

Lastly, the Authority enriched its analysis with insights gleaned from a cycle of hearings organized in May and June 2024. The members of the Board heard from representatives of France Télévisions' Executive Committee and Management Committee, representatives of professional organizations, representatives of the "supervisory authorities" and the Group's independent directors appointed by the Authority. Lastly, the College interviewed Delphine Ernotte Cunci on October 16, 2024 (see the "Appendix" section at the end of this document).
