The destiny of local tv channel at stake on wednesday


Angers 7, the local tv channel, will know wednesday, from the tribunal of commerce of Angers, if it will continue or close. Offers of revival will be introduced that day but the city of Angers and Angers Loire Metropole have announced that they will not sustain such offers. "I could have a look at it within a month but not at once. That would be unfair", said the mayor of Angers.
According to the city, the business model of Angers 7 leads to a deficit of 1.5 million euros per year, an amount "well above our financial power", said the mayor.
The employees are disappointed : "You the politicians were happy with the local tv channel during the polls", critized a former editor who attempted to disrupt the first test of the trolley on may the 7th. An association of viewers has been created to sustain the employees who claim they will fight "till the end". The website of the channel is not optimistic refering since last week : "Angers 7 it's over".
