Ten years ago, I was graduating at Montpellier University in Film Production. A couple of seasons later, Jacques Chancel recruited me - or should I say enlisted me ? - in a platoon of pioneers sent out on the cable TV network to fight a tough battle : make classical music a prime time hit.
I turned out to be a lost battle. French national network France Télévision eventually sold this classy and classical Mezzo channel to a private competitor, Muzzik, which was having better results with more jazz on air. Mezzo now belongs to Lagardère Group and its chairman is Christophe Sabot. (photos and graphic design by X.)
