Despite complicated relations with the Élysée Palace under Macron, the president of France Télés, who will be interviewed by Arcom on Monday, May 12, appears poised for a third consecutive term. This is thanks to competition blocked by the proposed holding company and a particular focus on the most influential producers.

Her project is called "Reconciliation." On Monday, May 12 at 2 p.m., Delphine Ernotte-Cunci will present it to the nine members of the Arcom college, the audiovisual regulator. Unprecedented: the 58-year-old executive is applying for a third five-year term at the head of France Télévisions . Facing her are three contenders: former La République en Marche MP and producer Frédérique Dumas, an angry member of Macron's party , Irène Grenet, former deputy general manager of France Télés' advertising agency, and Jean-Philippe Lefèvre, a communications consultant with twenty-two years at Public Sénat. Sufficient CVs to run such a company, with its 8,800 employees and its €3.7 billion annual budget, so central to the French cultural ecosystem, so complicated to maneuver? Not sure.
