• Resumen

  • In a decision delivered on 23 October 2014, the Conseil d�État judge sitting in urgent matters rejected an application from the channel LCI to suspend the decision to refuse the approval of the audiovisual regulatory authority (Conseil Supérieur de l�Audiovisuel - CSA) to move from pay TV broadcasting to freeview. It should be remembered that a CSA decision delivered on 29 July 2014, elaborated on the basis of Article 42-3 (4) of the Act of 30 September 1986, refused granting LCI the approval it requested to change the way in which its digital TV service was financed, with a shift from pay TV to freeview (see IRIS 2014-8/22). LCI was therefore requesting, under the urgent procedure, the suspension of the decision and for CSA to be ordered to issue it provisionally with approval authorising the move from pay TV to freeview.
