Will we soon find Nikos Aliagas, Jean-Luc Reichmann and Karine Ferri on M6? Or Cyril Lignac, Stéphane Rotenberg and Cristina Cordula on TF1? This is the future that Nicolas de Tavernost, chairman of the management board of M6, has just described in the columns of Capital. After the purchase by Bouygues of the shares of the German Bertelsmann in the M6 group, the 6 and the 1 want to form a single group.
Chains will be sold
To comply with competition laws, the file is currently under study, and the future audiovisual giant will have to respect a few important points. Indeed, according to the Autorité de la concurrence, the group will not be able to hold more than 7 channels at most. This is how M6 and TF1 could be forced to resell its channels (such as TFX, TF1 Séries Films, 6Ter and Gulli) in order to keep W9, Téva in particular, as well as TMC and LCI.
>> To see also: “P **** other people”, this sexual allusion of Karine Le Marchand which is worth to him to be destroyed by a columnist of “TPMP”!
An alliance that will open the door to exchanges of presenters between the two channels, also assures Nicolas de Tavernost to Capital. The latter wants to set up “a program of synergies whether in terms of technical exploitation, common services, exchange of facilitators”. Other paf stars like Arthur, Denis Brogniart, Camille Combal, Jean-Pierre Foucault, but also Stéphane Plaza and Ophélie Meunier, could therefore be called upon to work for other brands in the M6-TF1 group.
A cast worthy of the Avengers
One “all-star“which should attract a number of viewers in front of their set. But for the time being, Nicolas de Tavernost is in no hurry. He asserts, in effect, that “The first years” will be dedicated tocollect activities“, which implies “restructuring costs“.
