Arcom pays tribute to the statement of case of Philippe Levrier, former member of the French Superior Audiovisual Council.

President Roch-Olivier Maistre and the members of the Arcom College were saddened to learn of the death of Philippe Levrier, a member of the French Superior Audiovisual Council (French Superior Audiovisual Council) between 2001 and 2007.

A graduate of the Ecole Polytechnique, Philippe Levrier began his career in 1973 as an engineer at the Office de Radio Broadcasting Télévision Française (ORTF). In 1975, he joined Télédiffusion de France (TDF), where he held the position of Managing Director from 1989 to 1995.

In 1996, Philippe Levrier was asked by the then Minister of Culture, Philippe Douste-Blazy, to write a report on the future of digital terrestrial diffusion. A year later, he became Managing Director of France 3, before being appointed a member of the French Superior Audiovisual Council in 2001 by the President of the French Senate, Christian Poncelet.

Philippe Levrier has worked to advance European and international issues, notably within the French Superior Audiovisual Council. At the French Superior Audiovisual Council, then at the "France Télé Numérique" public interest grouping, which he chaired from 2007 to 2009, his astute analysis of the audiovisuel industry's technological developments at the time, and his lofty vision, played a major role in modernising audiovisual diffusion and ensuring the successful rollout of DTT.

His independent spirit, hard work, human qualities and sense of humor have left their mark on all those who have worked with him at the French Superior Audiovisual Council.

The Arcom College and its teams share the grief of Philippe Levrier's family and friends, to whom they offer their most sincere condolences.
