The 2023 T&Cs according to FranceTV Publicité:
In a video consumption market in France which has exploded to more than 5 hours per day, television is resilient with a usage share of 76%. Nevertheless, we observe a fragmentation of attention, or even fatigue, due to over-solicitation. However, attention is a limited resource, a precious commodity. At France Télévisions, we make the quality of relational attention a priority issue because the French have never needed so much to create links and to have points of reference. In advertising, this translates into the promise of mutual consideration between brands and audiences because advertising must be at the service of audiences and alongside brands. So many unique advantages that make up the strength of France Télévisions’ offer: with a 29% audience share, France TV remains the number one medium for French people and 70% of them pay real attention to the content of our channels.
“DESTINATION 2024” is our strategic plan for the next two years, to cultivate attention around two singular axes: the attention of all audiences to strengthen the quality of relational links; attention to advertising to ensure greater effectiveness. A program rich in solutions for efficiency, innovation and exclusivity with a unique value proposition in Sport.
1: The attention of all audiences to strengthen the quality of the relational link
1.1: Building the public television of tomorrow: energizing, vibrant and lively TV
Our quest at France TV is to pay attention to all audiences by addressing all generations and all territories; We reach more than 47 million French people every week and are a reflection of the structure by age group of the French population.

1.3: Pilot the strategy with quality indicators of relational attention
Our strategy takes into account this attention from all audiences to strengthen the quality of the relationship because the link with the audiences is fragile. Thus, France TV manages its strategy by monitoring the quality indicators of relational attention: Citizen Consultation, Quali TV Barometer of programs with Harris Interactive, Image Barometer of channels in France with IFOP.

2.3: Enrich our evidence of effectiveness in our advertising solutions
After the success of our performance offers on which we are committed on business indicators, we want to go a step further in order to model the share of contacts to be allocated on France TV to optimize the ROI of brands.
