Exclusion of NRJ 12 from DTT by Arcom

On December 12, 2024, Arcom announced the exclusion of NRJ 12 from DTT. This decision, taken on December 11, 2024, rejects the channel's application for a DTT frequency. NRJ Group contests this decision, which it considers incomprehensible. This exclusion comes despite the withdrawal of pay channels from Canal+, which freed up frequencies.

NRJ 12, a channel that attracts 33.4 million viewers per month, deplores this decision. It argues its positive contribution to DTT over the last 20 years and underlines its popularity among young people. An appeal is planned against this decision, perceived as illegal by the group.

The social impact of this decision is another concern for the company. In addition, the public interest seems to be threatened by this removal, according to NRJ Group, which remains mobilized to contest this exclusion.
