Resumen de France: CSA Refuses authorisation for three digital tv channels to move from pay-tv to freeview
On 29 July 2014, at the end of a thorough investigation, the audiovisual regulatory authority (Conseil Supérieur de l�Audiovisuel � CSA) found that the conditions for authorising the move from digital pay-TV to freeview requested by three channels (LCI � Groupe TF1, Paris Première � Groupe M6) and Planète Plus (Groupe Canal Plus) were not met. The channels are suffering a serious drop in income, which is generated mainly by the fees received from distributors offering the channels to their subscribers (CanalSat, Numericable, etc).
