Groupe M6 is simplifying the organisation of its cross-functional departments to accelerate its strategic priorities, creating a new Finance, Technologies and Transformation division led by Henri de Fontaines. The new division brings together the Finance Department, led by Emmanuelle Marti following a transition period with Jérôme Lefébure; a new Technologies, Innovation and Streaming Department formed by merging M6+ with the Technologies and Innovation Department and co-led by Valéry Gerfaud and Constance Fouquet; the Legal Department under Nathalie-Camille Martin; the Transformation Department under Claire Michaux; the Strategy Department under Baptiste Capdevielle; and the General Services Department under Jean-Christophe Ricou. Jérôme Lefébure will leave the Group at the end of November 2026 after 23 years, 12 of them as a member of the Executive Board, having served as Group CFO and then Managing Director of Finance and Support Functions. Emmanuelle Marti joins on 5 October 2026 as Group Chief Financial Officer and a member of the Executive Committee, most recently serving as Chief Financial Officer of the RMC-BFM Group. Christophe Foglio leaves at the end of the year after 18 years as Director of Technological Resources, Human Resources Director and then Transformation Director, with Claire Michaux, Deputy Transformation Director since December 2025, succeeding him as head of the Transformation Department.

M6 Group reported consolidated revenue of €643.8 million for the first half of 2026, a 1.8% increase from the same period last year, driven by its broadcast of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The World Cup helped M6 become the top national channel in France for the first time in its history from June 11 to July 19, reaching 94% of the French population and attracting over 300 brands for advertising. Group advertising revenue was nearly flat at €520.4 million, while non-advertising revenue rose 9.6% to €123.3 million, reflecting strong World Cup-related performance. Profit from recurring operations (EBITA) fell 48.7% to €54.4 million, as higher programming costs from the World Cup and a challenging advertising market weighed on margins. The company confirmed its streaming targets, including over €200 million in streaming revenue by 2028, and plans to launch new programmes in the autumn to sustain audience momentum.
