why the BFMTV channel is not happy at all

TNT will completely change its face in a few weeks. Many channels will change channels, and viewers will therefore have to get used to these new numbers.

A decision that greatly displeases BFMTV. The 24-hour news channel estimates that the group RMC BFM will be at a disadvantage. Details.

The information block does not please BFMTV

Exit the chains C8 et NRJ12which disappear in favor of CMI TV et OF TV. Their channels will be recovered by LCP, the parliamentary channel and Gold. The two incoming channels inherit, for their part, channels 18 and 19.

In the same sense, Canal + disappears from TNT and leaves its channel number 4 to France 4.

The information channels are grouped into a dedicated block: BFMTV, CNews, LCI et franceinfo will respectively recover channels 13, 14, 15 and 16.

“This reconfiguration disadvantages the group”

And it doesn’t please BFMTV. In a press releasethe chain criticizes Arcom for changing viewers’ habits. She indicates that this decision is “contrary to the interest of the public, the vast majority of whom want the minimum change in their habits related to numbering”.

This reconfiguration disadvantages the RMC BFM group, which has been betting on DTT with BFMTV since 2005. Indeed, this channel, a pioneer in free, continuous information, has established itself thanks to significant investments and a constant commitment to quality information.

In essence, she fears that moving from channel 15 to 13 will cause her to lose viewers.

The group also says they are “surprised”. According to him, usually, it is the last entrants who get the last numbers. He is “currently examining the remedies possible on these decisions.

As a reminder, this “information block” was clearly a desire of Arcom, the audiovisual policeman, so that “viewers have simple and fluid access to the entire information offering”, said Roch-Olivier Maistre, its president.
