Unsurprisingly, the Audiovisual and Digital Communication Regulatory Authority (Arcom) confirmed, during its plenary meeting on December 11, the list of channels that it had preselected on July 24 for a new authorization to broadcast on DTT. . As expected, C8 (Canal+ group) and NRJ12 (NRJ group) will have to return the antenna, on this reception mode in any case, on February 28.
From 1is March, the newcomer CMI TV (formerly Réels TV, CMI-médias group, whose name may still change) will however make its appearance, while LCI, TMC, W9 and Paris Première (on pay DTT) will inaugurate their new authorization, applicable until 2035. The other “new entrant”OFTV (West-France group), will wait until 1is September to broadcast its first programs; on this date, BFM-TV, CNews, CStar, Gulli, and TFX will for their part release their new authorization. Still under consideration, the numbering will not be known until early January.
Expected, these green lights were conditional on the channels' acceptance of their conventions, these texts which detail the commitments that they are required to respect in exchange for the exploitation of the public resource. Those, relatively similar, which govern the news channels, include details directly inspired by the failings and controversies which have animated these last years, and of which CNews has often been at the origin.

Article 2.3.1 relating to “pluralism of the expression of currents of thought and opinion” also directly takes up the Arcom deliberation which resulted from it in July.
