End of C8: Arch denies the assertions of Jules Torres on Europe 1

It is not every day that the Arcom split a press release on social networks on a Sunday afternoon. You have to believe that the time is serious. On X, the audiovisual gendarme wanted to react to the affirmations that “people working within it would have commented, in inappropriate terms, on February 21, the decision not to renew the authorization of C8 on TNT ».

Jules Torres, a political columnist for “We walk on the head”, Cyril Hanouna’s program exceptionally presented this Friday by Gauthier Le Bret on Europe 1, has revelations to make. He claims to have had lunch the same day in a restaurant in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, next to “two men and a woman working at Arch”, whose headquarters are located a few hundred meters from our editorial staff “, judge- It is useful to specify at that time.

“We are happy to have paid the Bolloré group”

Having his ear by understanding that his table neighbors speak of C8’s stop, he would have heard the latter make little improvements, pushing him to “record some scraps of this discussion”. And to quote: “We were asked to turn Hanouna, we did it. We did our job (indignant exclamations around the table in the studio of Europe 1) ”, “We are happy to have paid the Bolloré group”, “We don’t care about putting 400 friends from Hanouna.”

Serious accusations that pushed the audiovisual gendarme to react this Sunday. “The Arcom specifies that none of the members of the college, in office currently or during the decision made public on December 12, 2024, and only decision -makers, was in the district mentioned on February 21. In addition, contrary to what was indicated on the antenna of Europe 1, the Arch headquarters have not been in this district since the beginning of January. “The authority also specifies that it” reserves the right to initiate any approach to ensure its protection and that of its agents “.

 

Before recalling that “the decision to disseminate ten free TNT channels at the end of current authorizations, and not to renew those of the C8 and NRJ 12 channels, was based on a comparative examination of the 19 projects presented, According to the criteria defined by law, an examination which led to authorize two new channels ”. A decision of which the Council of State confirmed the legality of the procedure and the culmination on February 19.
