About Jérôme FOUQUERAY

Jérôme Fouqueray is a senior executive within Groupe M6, where he has held a central leadership role in the management of the free-to-air channels W9 and 6ter. Since being appointed Managing Director of W9, and then expanding his responsibilities to include 6ter in January 2018, he has overseen two strategically important channels at the intersection of content strategy, scheduling, audience development, and commercial performance. His remit has placed him close to the editorial and operational decisions that shape Groupe M6’s digital terrestrial television offering in an increasingly competitive and fast-changing media environment. Before taking on these channel leadership responsibilities, Fouqueray built a career in media and broadcasting, developing strong expertise in programming, channel branding, and editorial management. Publicly available Groupe M6 materials identify him among the group’s key operational leaders and show that his scope of responsibility expanded over time. That progression suggests a profile combining editorial judgment, team leadership, and the ability to manage complex television businesses with distinct audiences and formats. His career is especially associated with the management of highly recognizable media brands. At W9 and later W9 plus 6ter, he helped steer channel development for complementary audience segments, balancing entertainment, information magazines, documentaries, and event programming. In professional interviews, he has emphasized Groupe M6’s investment in documentary and magazine programming, as well as the group’s intention to reinforce these genres in the schedule. This reveals a pragmatic editorial approach focused on differentiation, audience retention, and the building of coherent channel identities. During periods of reorganization within Groupe M6, Fouqueray represented continuity in the management of the free-to-air TNT portfolio. His experience in steering channels within a regulated, highly competitive, and increasingly digital media landscape is a significant asset. Overall, his career illustrates the profile of a media executive who combines editorial ambition, commercial discipline, and operational adaptability in the French audiovisual sector.
