Sadly this was inventible. The main issues are the multi-channels rather than the main channels that both companies provide.
The M6 spin-off channels aren't that good, but they do have an excellent children's channel in Gulli, while TF1's aren't also setting the world alight with Series Films having low ratings.
Pure speculation here, but they'll try and get it through by closing the low rated FTA TNT channels such as TF1 Séries Films and 6ter, leaving the combined group with the likes of W9, TFX and TMC.
My main concern would be the merging of the news teams of TF1 and M6. M6 provides a bulletin which is similar to 5 News in the UK. Any merger should ensure that M6 continues to provide a distinct bulletin that isn't editorially the same as TF1's more mainstream bulletin.
I'd understand if M6 would have to use the TF1 weather presenters though, although I prefer the presentation of M6's forecasts over what looks like a dated style of pres on TF1.
