This reform, carried by the Minister of Culture Rachida Dati, potentially aims to unify the local editors from here (ex-France Bleu) and France Télévisions, and that journalists practice multimedia. At Mans (Sarthe), the latter remain in the blur.
The editors by Maine and France 3 in the same place in Le Mans?
Once again, the Sarthoises editors Here Maine and France 3 Pays de la Loire went on strike this Monday, June 30, 2025. The radio broadcasts only music and no television news for lunch and evening.
Journalists denounce several points. If there Holding France Media Unifies the various media of the public service, what would it be local editors? Located in one place, as in Rennes or Auxerre? “These projects have been existing for a long time,” said Marie MUTRICYJT radio presenter in the morning and staff representative. She adds: “That of Laval arrived in the right place, at the right time. »»
In the prefecture city, it would be difficult to install radio and television in the same place. “Here Maine cannot accommodate France 3 studios and vice versa. Another place would need, which is not easy to find. “, noted Alexandre Chassignonjournalist here in Maine.
Multimedia journalists, possible burn-out?
The latter launches: “Today, I am unable to make television. The requested products may be less satisfactory. Especially with reductions of budgetary means. »»

However: “Local information is very important. Nantes, it’s not Le Mans! »»
“This reform does not make sense!” »»
Like all the journalists concerned by this reform, Alexandre Chassignon declares: “It is a political project. Moreover, the national rally wants to vote for, because it is a first step towards the privatization of public audiovisual. »»
