A pioneer in digital television in Europe through its initial role in BSKyB and CanalSatellite, and a publisher of quality thematic channels (Voyage, Comédie!, Cuisine.tv) that have successfully attracted large viewer num-bers, Pathé holds a unique position in the French audio-visual market. Pathé's independence, its nearly twenty years of experience in television and its expertise in all areas of the movie industry represent significant strengths in this rapidly evolving sector. A leading player in cable and satellite thematic television, Pathé has expanded its presence to general-interest television through its acquisition of TMC at the beginning of 2002. On September 2002, Pathé has established a new sales organisation, Pathé Régie, to market advertising space and manage partnerships for Comédie!, TMC and Voyage.
		Pathé is now well positioned to play a leading role in the development of digital terrestrial television. On October 23, France's audiovisual supervisory authority, the Conseil Supérieur de l'Audiovisuel (CSA), authorized Pathé to broadcast its TMC, Comédie! and Cuisine.tv channels nationwide via forthcoming DTT.
