About
Canal+ is a prominent French media group. It's in the news due to Vincent Bolloré, a major shareholder through Compagnie de l’Odet, being questioned by a parliamentary inquiry regarding public broadcasting. Bolloré's media interests extend beyond Canal+ as he also holds capital in Banijay, a significant program supplier to France Télévisions. The inquiry focuses on the funding and management of public audiovisual services. Bolloré advocated for public broadcasting to be entirely funded by advertising, criticizing its current cost. He also defended CNews' decision to keep Jean-Marc Morandini on air, despite Morandini's conviction for corruption of minors and harassment. The inquiry highlights the ongoing debate about the role, funding, and editorial independence of public media in France, and the influence of private media groups like Canal+.
