French broadcasting group NextRadioTV is set to launch a new channel, RMC TV, on cable, satellite and IPTV.
The company plans to launch the new channel some time in 2015 and will be available free to view as an ad-supported channel.
The channel will complement the radio broadcasts from RMC, the former Radio Monte Carlo, which was acquired in 2001 by the NextRadioTV group. NextRadioTV turned the radio station into an all talk format concentrating on news, sports and information.
NextRadioTV already owns and operates two successful TV news channels, BFM TV and BFM Business, as well as the RMC Decouverte documentary channel, which was launched on December 12, 2012 on the country’s DTT network.
