French deputies have voted in favour of raising the PSB licence fee from €125 to €131 in 2013 in metropolitan France, while it will rise to €85 in overseas territories.

This increase will bring €49 million to France Télévisions and aims to compensate the 2.3% fall in public funding and ad revenues.

In 2013, France Télévisions will have to make €130 million in costs cuts across its channels and is required to submit a strategic plan to French Minister of Culture.
