#2026-203France updates technical radio settings for two digital TV transmitters on the R1 network
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This decision updates the transmission settings for two sites used to carry digital terrestrial TV on the R1 network: Condrieu in Saint-Clair-du-Rhône and Merck-Saint-Liévin in Saint-Martin-d'Hardinghem. It replaces the technical details in the earlier 18 February 2026 authorization, including antenna height, power, channel, polarization, and signal direction limits. For GR1 and the TV broadcasters on the multiplex, the practical effect is a technical compliance update, not a change in ownership or licensing model. The new settings take effect on 20 May 2026 for one site and 4 June 2026 for the other, so operators need to make sure transmission equipment and coverage plans match the new parameters.

Obligations
What this law requires
GR1 must apply the updated technical transmission characteristics for the Condrieu site (Saint-Clair-du-Rhône), including the specified antenna altitude, power, channel/polarization, and azimuth attenuation limits, replacing the parameters in the prior authorization.
GR1 must apply the updated technical transmission characteristics for the Merck-Saint-Liévin site (Saint-Martin-d'Hardinghem), including the specified antenna altitude, power, channel/polarization, and azimuth attenuation limits, replacing the parameters in the prior authorization.
GR1 and the authorized broadcasters on the R1 multiplex must ensure their transmission equipment and coverage planning conform to the new technical parameters set out in the annexes for the affected sites.
GR1 must respect the antenna altitude tolerance of plus or minus 5 meters at each affected site.
GR1 must keep the peak effective radiated power (PAR) equal to the minimum PAR for each affected site, as specified in the annexes.
