The heads of France's three largest private television networks have asked the government to protect them from US competitors like Google, Apple and Netflix who are set to enter the market. The bosses of TF1, Canal+ and M6, alarmed by the impending arrival of the American tech giants, have sought a meeting with Culture Minister Aurelie Filippetti to discuss "urgent measures" to reform the sector.
They said they were worried by the "upheavals caused by the arrival of new actors" who had become leading providers of entertainment content across the world.
The TV chiefs said they were also concerned by the "outrageous tax optimisation" used by the US companies.
