On Thursday's France Inter morning news programme Le 7/9.30, Nicolas Demorand and Léa Salamé interviewed French Minister of Culture Rima Abdul Malak, and announced that C8 and CNEWS' licenses are under review, and their licenses might be not renewed when these are up in 2025. The rationale of this is due to the many cases and fines given to the channel by the Arcom due to the controversial and politically-biased content aired on C8's evening access show, Touche pas à mon poste !, as well as CNEWS' shift to right-wing punditry and clash-ridden roundtable shows.

The Arcom hasn't still spoken out on the situation, but CNEWS wasted no time on taking its own sides on the situation:

Arcom's president Roch-Olivier Maistre has finally spoken out on the possible non-renewal of C8 and CNEWS' frequencies. CNEWS does "strictly respect politic pluralism". Really? However, meeting with Sciences Po students earlier this week, he strongly criticized Bolloré's increasing meddling on content and responded to Rima Abdul Malak, saying that if the frequency is not renewed, it has to be done in a gradual form and respecting Arcom's independence.
