  • Her new mandate, set to begin on August 22, 2025, extends her leadership until 2030, barring potential changes from planned governance reforms.
  • The proposed France Médias holding, expected to centralize oversight of public broadcasters, could alter Ernotte's role or tenure if enacted.
  • Ernotte, 58, has led France Télévisions since 2015, overseeing digital transformations and structural changes, including the france.tv rebrand.
  • She supports the government's holding company initiative as a safeguard against privatization, though unions and internal stakeholders express concerns.
