Nonce Paolini Dies: Influential French TV Chief Was 75
Nonce Paolini, the former Chairman and CEO of French broadcasting giant TF1 Group, has passed away aged 75.
During his tenure as CEO, TF1 acquired networks such as TMC, began its first push into streaming and launched French versions of formats such as The Voice and Dancing with the Stars, which are still on air today. Paolini’s replacement, Pélisson, who is now President of French producers body Unifrance, said: “I am devastated by the death of Nonce who, beyond the professional relationships we had established firstly at Bouygues Telecom, then at TF1 where I I had the pride of succeeding him, had become a friend. Current TF1 CEO Rudolphe Belmer said the French audiovisual sector had “lost a great leader; the TF1 group, a member of his family.”
