NRJ GROUP Faces Major Setback with NRJ 12’s Exclusion from TNT

NRJ Group ( (FR:NRG) ) has provided an update.

NRJ GROUP faces a significant challenge as the Council of State upheld ARCOM’s decision to exclude NRJ 12 from TNT broadcasting, threatening the channel’s economic viability and impacting the group’s television division. This decision is expected to result in an 80% revenue drop for NRJ 12, forcing its closure and negatively affecting CHERIE 25, potentially leading to its sale. The group anticipates a revenue decrease of 50 to 55 million euros in 2025, prompting exploration of strategic options and an employment protection plan. Despite these setbacks, NRJ GROUP remains committed to strengthening its radio and broadcasting divisions, leveraging its financial resilience and cash reserves to support future growth.
