Question 13385 — audiovisual and communication

Summary

Mr. Laurent Mazaury draws the attention of the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs to the decision of the management of TV5 Monde to cancel the political program “Face aux Territoires”, which threatens both the diversity of the French-speaking media offering, the economic balance of the regional daily press (PQR) and the employment of the channel's intermittent technicians. This show, co-produced and entirely financed by the PQR, was in fact suddenly removed at the end of last year by the CEO Ms. Kim Younes, on the grounds that it did not fit into the channel's “strategic plan”. However, it fulfilled an essential public service mission: it offered a unique platform for French political leaders to address both the territories (including overseas) and internationally, thanks to its broadcast on TV5 Monde and on the local channels of TNT, as well as on the sites of partner regional daily newspapers (Ouest-France, La Provence, Nice Matin, La Voix du Nord, France-Antilles, etc.). This decision is all the more surprising given that the show was a real success in terms of exposure, provided significant revenue to TV5 Monde and supported an already fragile regional media ecosystem, in the run-up to the municipal elections and the next presidential and presidential elections. legislative. Its removal deprives citizens, in France and around the world, of a new and accessible political space. Furthermore, the production of the show on the TV5 Monde set made it possible to maintain activity for the channel's intermittent technicians, who are currently suffering. Instead, the management launched a program on contemporary art, at a cost of 1.4 million euros, which does not seem to make much of a difference. audience and is an “industrial accident” in terms of digital broadcasting. In this context, he asks the Government if it intends to intervene so that “Facing the Territories” is reintegrated into TV5 Monde's strategic plan.
