TV5 Chairman Questions CFII - June 21, 2005

Debate in France rages on over the fate, but largely the expense, of the Chaine Française Internationale d’Information (CFII). Quoted in Journal du Dimanche last Sunday (June 19), and reported by AFP, TV5 chairman Jean-Jacques Aillagon suggested TV5 performs already CFII’s mission: “At the time when Anglo-Saxon domination of information pushes us to erect…new projects…one wonders whether it would not be preferable, and less expensive, to mobilize the existing tool, which is TV5.”

“TV5 does not have to be anxious,” fired back French Minister of Transport and Culture Renaud Donnedieu de Vabres. “They are not competitive projects.”

De Vabres called the two networks "complimentary," quoted in Le Figaro (June 21) and also reported by AFP.

TV5 is a French language television network owned by public broadcasters in France, Belgium, Switzerland and Canada. - June 21, 2005
