On 19 February 2016, Gilles Pélisson becomes Chairman & CEO of the TF1 group. Supported by Ara Aprikian (Broadcasting) Thierry Thuillier (LCI initially, then News), he implements a bold multi-channel strategy. This includes the freeview switchover of LCI and a relaunch for TMC, taking it up-market with a new identity unveiled in the launch show of the new current affairs programme Quotidien.
