On the way to a third term? Delphine Ernotte Cunci announced, on Thursday, April 17, her candidacy for a new mandate at the head of France Télévisions in a message addressed to the employees of the group, a race in which she leaves favorite. Two other contenders are already known: the producer and ex-deputy Frédérique Dumas, as well as the journalist of France TV and union delegate SNJ Serge Cimino. The candidates have until Friday to come forward to the Arcom, the audiovisual regulator who will have to decide between them for a five -year mandate starting on August 22.
Former owner of Orange France, Delphine Ernotte Cunci was the first woman named at the head of the audiovisual group, in 2015. “I wish to continue to defend our public service media by your side, with force and passion, at the service of the mastery of our democratic space, our cultural sovereignty and the reconciliation of French society”explained the owner of the France Télévisions group, which publishes Franceinfo.fr jointly with Radio France.
The situation could be upset if a holding company common to all the public audiovisual was born. The project is supported by the Minister of Culture, Rachida Dati, but criticized by the left. Under the authority of a president, the holding company, France Media, would oversee four subsidiaries (France Télévisions, Radio France, France Médias Monde, National Institute of Audiovisual).
However, the examination of the text in the hemicycle, scheduled for April 10, was postponed Sine Die due to a very busy parliamentary program. Depending on what Parliament will ultimately validate, the next CEO of France Télévisions could see its mandate shortened.
