Guest Saturday July 12 of the program “After Foot” on RMC SportJean-Pierre Rivère, former president of the OGC Nice, delivered his impressions on the future of the broadcast of the French championship. The LFP formalized in early July the creation of its own channel, Ligue 1+, for the 2025-2026 season. The 67 -year -old man, who has just turned the page after 14 years at the head of the club, praised the arrival at the controls of Nicolas de Tavernost, former boss of the M6 group, now general manager of LFP Média. He said he was confident about the skills of the latter, as well as the quality of the work of producer Mediawan, in charge of the future platform.
If he would have preferred a solution with BeIN Sports or Canal+Rivère now calls for club unity behind this unprecedented project. He insists on the need to offer an attractive, modern product and in line with the new expectations of supporters: “All sports have been able to evolve, it is time for French football to do the same”did he clearly summarize. Accessible at a price deemed affordable, this new channel must, according to him, embody a real revolution in the way of consuming football in France. A daring bet to win back the public after years of turbulence around TV rights. Ligue 1 seems to find its colors, with the arrival of Pogba in Monaco, the arrival of Giroud at LOSC or the maintenance in Ligue 1 of OL.
