NRJ GROUP faces the exclusion of NRJ 12 from DTT

On February 19, 2025, the Council of State confirmed ARCOM's decision to exclude NRJ 12 from DTT, thereby rejecting NRJ GROUP's appeal. As of March 1, 2025, NRJ 12 will lose its frequency on DTT, calling into question its economic viability. This decision will also impact CHERIE 25, jeopardizing its economic model.

NRJ GROUP anticipates an 80% drop in its turnover for NRJ 12 and is considering a shutdown of its operations. The group is also assessing the impact of this situation on CHERIE 25, with a possible sale being considered. A job protection plan is also being studied to cushion the effects of this restructuring.

In the medium term, the group, with 350 million euros in cash, plans to focus on strengthening its Radio and Broadcasting divisions. The end of the Canal+ Group's pay DTT channels could, however, reduce its broadcasting revenues by 3 million euros. NRJ GROUP remains determined to adapt to these challenges.
