Just a year and a half after rebranding its production-distribution group into Studio TF1, France’s leading commercial network TF1 has quietly put it on the market, Variety has confirmed.

The broadcasting group, which is presided over by former Netflix board member Rodolphe Belmer since 2023, has hired Rothschild to oversee an early-stage sale process, according to a Reuters which was first to report the news. The outlet also cited a source reporting that the business could be valued at around €400 million.
