[20.10.22] PRESS RELEASE

REACTION OF TF1 GROUP TO THE APPEAL DECISION IN THE DISPUTE WITH CANAL + GROUP CONCERNING TNT SAT

TF1 group takes note of the ruling handed down by the Paris Court of Appeal in the dispute over the distribution of the group's DTT channels by Canal via TNT SAT.

TF1 group is studying the legal follow-up it may give to this decision.

TF1 group strongly regrets this situation initiated by the Canal + group, which deprives French households in rural areas of quality news, major family dramas and entertainment and major sporting events, in particular French football matches.

TF1 group's channels are available free of charge via DTT, FRANSAT and on MyTF1. They are also distributed in the offers of telecom operators: Orange, Bouygues Telecom, SFR, Free, and within the Molotov TV and Salto services.
