The French regulator CSA will decide on a dispute between France Télévisions and PlayTV, a site that offers 70 TV channels for free over the internet, by the end of July.
According to Le Figaro, this follows a hearing held at the CSA this Monday (June 24).
France Télévisions has accused the company Play Media, which launched PlayTV in 2010, of broadcasting the channels France 2, France 3, France 4, France 5 and France O without an agreement and also siphoning off commercial revenues from the group.
Play Media has grown into an increasingly important player, accounting for 30% of the live internet TV market and claiming 2.5 million visitors a month.
It has agreements in place with all the services it broadcasts, including sharing ad revenues, except France Télévisions, TF1 and M6.
