Overview

• France Inter replaced much of its flagship morning show with about 45 minutes of music before some segments briefly returned, according to AFP.
• The intersyndicale (CFDT, CGT, FO, SNJ, SUD, UNSA) launched an open-ended walkout after Friday negotiations failed and management did not provide a timetable for talks before Monday.
• Grievances focus on CEO Sibyle Veil’s plans to end Mouv’ on FM, retool Ici’s editorial line, and cut or fold investigative and reportage programs.
• The dispute is linked to absorbing roughly €5.3 million in state-ordered savings, which unions say would erode public-service journalism.
• Other antennas reported disruptions—France Culture was affected while the franceinfo morning aired normally—and on-air host Nicolas Demorand said the action targets the group’s editorial strategy and reforms.
