I've obviously validated all its strategic choice

The average audience of TF1 share fell in a year from 31 to 26.1. The one is always at the top but its general model is not threatened by competition from the TNT and the fragmentation of the hearings

No, the General model of TF1 remains solid, valid and reliable despite very strong competition. The relative unimportance the decline of the hearing by putting it in a historical context. The chain has been privatized more than twenty years ago, at a time where the France had only 5 strings. Today, the public has access to 200 channels permanently, including 18 totally free on digital terrestrial television, and television is also available on the Internet. In these conditions, it is normal that the hearing of the major mainstream chains down in a certain proportion. Mathematical, the competitive landscape has completely changed since 1987. But I note that each day TF1 continues to bring together a majority of the French.

From what level of hearing would you consider that there is a risk of "industrial accident"

I do not think that such a risk exists. TF1 hearing will stabilize. Mechanical because the rise in charge of the TNT is practically done: it now covers about 80 of the territory. The hardest is behind us.

On the TNT, there are strings of information that compete hard with REBA... What LCI could be one day broadcast in the clear

Non. LCI has specific agreements with CanalSatellite and cable, which contribute to its economic model. However, I do not see too where is the model of other channels. If there are one or two in the landscape, it is not REBA launched the first in 1994! In any event, we are already present on the TNT with strings such as TMC and NT1, and then we will have a "bonus channel" for another string as soon as the judgment of the analog.

For you, was Laurence Ferrari the right choice to succeed PPDA despite a difficult start under the bar of the 30 of hearing

Of course! First Laurence Ferrari is passed back over 30 in recent weeks. Diary 20 hours together every night more than 8 million viewers, it is a very nice performance that I welcome. You know, when it succeeded a presenter who officiated for over twenty years and which very well fulfilled its mission, it is never clear at the beginning. Part of the public could be destabilized in the first weeks, but today these viewers are returning. And if they return, it is because they look at the log of what it is and what it represents and not only for the journalist who presents...

You have shown him your support during this delicate period

Yes of course, I called him to encourage him and assure him of my full confidence. I was a little shocked by the way she was treated here or for his debut at 20 hours there.

How do you consider the action of the President and CEO of TF1, Nonce Paolini

I speak daily with Nuncio as I did it before with Patrick Le Lay. I've obviously validated all its strategic choice. It is a remarkable work. He has my confidence.
