\n\tSpeaking about the broadcaster\u2019s international acquisitions strategy, Manuel Alduy, France T\u00e9l\u00e9visions\u2019 editorial director of cinema and international series, said the group was prioritizing a distinctive editorial identity over volume.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cWe are not trying to accumulate international series,\u201d Alduy said. \u201cWe are looking for shows that bring genuine editorial differentiation and extend the public service mission. They meet the same criteria as our films: singularity, emotion or reassurance.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tAlduy added that France T\u00e9l\u00e9visions\u2019 streaming platform could not simply line up titles, but needed to create viewing pathways, build collections, establish connections between films and series and guide audiences toward new discoveries through formats adapted to digital viewing habits.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cIn the continuous noise of streaming flows, certain works still move forward like persistent lights,\u201d he said. \u201cOur role is to make them visible and clear a path for them toward the public.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tAlongside its entertainment slate, France T\u00e9l\u00e9visions outlined an extensive political and current-affairs offering, with new programs ans expanded investigations.<\/p>\n
\n\tPhilippe Corb\u00e9, France T\u00e9l\u00e9visions\u2019 news director, said the public broadcaster wanted to provide a shared democratic space during the presidential campaign rather than tell voters what to think.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cOur role is not to tell French people what they should think, but to give them the means to choose,\u201d Corb\u00e9 said. \u201cThat means bringing debate to life, questioning political programs, confronting ideas, giving facts their full place, but also hearing the questions, doubts, anger and expectations of the French people.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tFrance 2 will revive its cult political interview program \u201cL\u2019Heure de v\u00e9rit\u00e9\u201d on primetime, hosted by Caroline Roux alongside a panel of political pundits.<\/p>\n
\n\tFrance T\u00e9l\u00e9visions is also ramping up its investigative programming and will increase its efforts to reach younger news consumers through social media and digital-first programming. \u201cEn tension,\u201d presented by the YouTuber HugoD\u00e9crypte, will unveil reports focused on young people around the world, while \u00c9lise Lucet will continue \u201cD\u00e9rush,\u201d her interview series featuring prominent figures from social platforms.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe broadcaster said its news content had generated more than 5 billion video views on social platforms during the season, with its news accounts reaching more than 25 million followers.<\/p>\n
\n\tCorb\u00e9 said the broadcaster\u2019s editorial priorities would remain grounded in reporting and fact-checking amid growing distrust, disinformation and political polarization.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cThe facts before commentary. The field before the studio. Information before opinion,\u201d he said. \u201cThe difference of public service lies in a promise: to address all French people. Public service belongs to no camp. It belongs to no party. It belongs to the French people,\u201d he continued. <\/p>\n
\n\tThe expansive slate comes as France T\u00e9l\u00e9visions faces mounting financial pressure and uncertainty over its future state funding.<\/p>\n
\n\tErnotte-Cunci said the group had already absorbed \u20ac110 million in funding cuts over the past two years. She argued that the unpredictable nature of the cuts had made it difficult to plan ahead and had forced the broadcaster to make painful programming decisions.<\/p>\n
\n\tFrance T\u00e9l\u00e9visions had made more than \u20ac80 million in programming-related savings for the new season, including sports expenditure, with approximately \u20ac20 million affecting creative programming.<\/p>\n
\n\tShe added that the broadcaster already expected to make at least another \u20ac20 million in savings in 2027. <\/p>\n
\n\tDespite the financial headwinds, she argued that the fundamental role of France T\u00e9l\u00e9visions would endure even as its platforms and distribution models continued to evolve.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cThe screens will change, and viewing habits will too \u2014 probably much faster than we imagine,\u201d Ernotte-Cunci said. \u201cBut what French people fundamentally expect from us has not changed.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mathieu Kassovitz\u2019s landmark 1995 film \u201cLa Haine\u201d is heading to television in a new form, with French broadcaster…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":684946,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[228466,96,228467,2839,228468,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-684945","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-delphine-ernotte","tag-entertainment","tag-france-televisions","tag-movies","tag-presidential-elections","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/684945","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=684945"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/684945\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/684946"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=684945"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=684945"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=684945"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
