A very informative interview… The new numbering of TNT, the 20 Hours of France 2 with Laurent Delahousse and Anne-Sophie Lapix, parity, or even the presence of cows in the show “Intervilles” which should make its return this summer , Delphine Ernotte Cunci kindly gave a long interview to the newspaper “La Tribune Dimanche” of the day.
“Arcom above all sought a balance
During this exchange led by media journalist Rémi Jacob, the CEO of France Télévisions was first asked the following question: “France Télévisions is the big winner of this new numbering. Did Arcom give you a “gift””?”. To which she replied: “It would offend him to say that! I don't think that was his reasoning at all. Although we are very happy, because this decision will strengthen our power and strengthen our visibility. But Arcom above all sought a balance. The big winner is the viewer”.
Our colleague also questioned Delphine Ernotte Cunci on the Franceinfo channel which has an audience share of 0.8%. She said: “The objective is to exceed 1%. But the audience is not our main driver. We are not going to lose our soul by creating clashes, buzz and dirty news stories! At the time of the Palmade affair, I found the “deluge” that there was on certain news channels truly obscene. So, yes, at that time, we had fewer viewers, but we accept it!”.
