Vivendi’s Canal+ Group is fighting back against a decision over the summer by France‘s Arcom audiovisual and digital communication authority to strip its controversial C8 channel of its TNT frequency.
The pay-TV giant announced on Thursday that it would be referring the matter to France’s Council Of State, the country’s highest court for issues and cases involving public administration.
C8 was one of two channels, alongside NRJ12, to learn in July that it had lost its TNT licence in the renewal process. Arcom awarded these frequencies instead to new networks, Ouest-France TV’s OF TV and Réels TV, backed by Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky’s CMI group.
The current term expires in February 2025. “C8 firmly opposes Arcom’s decision… such a decision by Arcom is unprecedented in the history of TNT, dating back to 2005,” the group said in a statement, noting that the channel had been operating for close to 20 years.
