La Cinq (Étienne)

1990-1992


In 1990, Mediaset sold off La Cinq and was sold to Hachette. Eventually the "battle for the fifth channel" would get more intense and the channel was quickly confined into bankruptcy. On April 12th, 1992, La Cinq shut down. TE5, who wanted to get the "channel 5" slot, moved to La Cinq's former transmitters, in exchange, TE5's former transmitters were given to local television channels.
