“With regional infrastructures like the Media Park, thematic TV channels can be launched outside Paris in the future.“
“A variety of local TV channels are starting up and today Marseille, Nantes, Grenoble, Annecy, Toulouse, Bordeaux and Lyon all have their own TV channels.
For LCM, establishing the TV channel at the Media Park was a matter of course. Here, we benefit from all the necessary technical infrastructures and a true synergy of competences. The Media Park comprises all audiovisual professions: cameramen, production assistants, journalists… The conditions are ideal.
Since the advent of digital technology, there is no longer any reason for staying in Paris.
To launch a thematic TV channel – airing, for instance, children’s programmes, documentaries or music programmes – three elements are essential: studios, production facilities and personnel.
The Media Park’s studios, which occupy a considerable area, are much less expensive than the ones in Paris, production departments benefit from the Marseille cable network, craftsmen in Marseille are competent and the grouping of so many people in the business all represent a formidable asset.
Furthermore, instead of taking the RER to get to the Plaine Saint-Denis, you can drive along the Corniche, with a great view of the sea, whilst making appointments in Paris, which is only 3 hours away door to door on the TGV.
From a more global point of view, I find it particularly motivating to contribute to a future that is unfolding every day. In Marseille, everything is on the move – simmering with excitement and the spirit of reconstruction. Building sites are rising from the ground, service industries are multiplying, and technological expertise is well established.
Creating a company in such a dynamic context is truly exhilarating.”
