In late September, the deal announcing Mediaset's acquisition of Chaîne 5 was turned public, in order to prevent further downturn. This will drastically change the overview of the Noubaiese networks and will possibly force the "emancipation" of Le Huit or Ici into completely local feeds, as Mediaset is forbidden to relay one Roterlanese commercial channel on the terrestrial platform.

The last time Mediaset owned a channel in the French-speaking RGSN area was Télécinq in Roterlaine, sold to Hachette in 1992. Even under the new owners, the channel didn't prosper and went bankrupt. A new channel, Chaîne R, started in its frequencies later on in the year.
