Following the French Public Broadcasting Inquiry Commission's narrow approval last week, rapporteur Charles Alloncle's report—proposing mergers and €1 billion in cuts—has sparked outrage from France Télévisions and Radio France. Its official release, initially planned, is now delayed until Tuesday morning amid escalating tensions.

Auditions of the French National Assembly’s inquiry commission on public broadcasting’s neutrality, operations, and funding ended on Wednesday, April 8, 2026, with Delphine Ernotte, CEO of France Télévisions. Over 200 hours of hearings and nearly 250 people questioned marked these five and a half months of work launched in late November 2025. Rapporteur Charles Alloncle will present his conclusions to deputies before month’s end.
