France Médias Monde
Société de l'audiovisuel extérieur de la France (SAEF) or Audiovisuel extérieur de la France (AEF), formerly France Monde is a holding company which manages the major public French media groups which broadcast or publish internationally. The three targets of this reform measure are Radio France Internationale (RFI), France 24, and TV5Monde. It is expected that the combined funding, plus additional advertising revenue, would total € 400 million. Former President Nicolas Sarkozy stated that the SAEF would serve as an alternative to the BBC, CNN or Al Jazeera.[1][2]
On 20 February 2008, Alain de Pouzilhac was appointed to the preside over the group by French President Nicolas Sarkozy, charged with merging RFI with France 24 and TV5Monde.[3] On 12 July 2012, de Pouzilhac resigned,[4] and was replaced by Marie-Christine Saragosse.[5]
On 27 June 2013, AEF become France Médias Monde[6]
