Enders Analysis provides a subscription research service covering the media, entertainment, mobile and fixed telecommunications industries in Europe, with a special focus on new technologies and media.
Our research is independent and evidence-based, covering all sides of the market: consumers, leading companies, industry trends, forecasts and public policy & regulation. A complete list of our research can be found here.
Francois Godard, senior media analyst at Enders and author of the recently published book “Germany, France and Postwar Democratic Capitalism: Expert Rule,” says France’s standing with international financiers is crucial to the local economy because the “country is Europe’s primary destination for foreign direct investments.” Addressing potential consequences on the French media industry and ongoing consolidation, Godard said “if foreign financiers start deserting, it will put French companies in a difficult situation to borrow money because interest rates will inevitably go up.” France is home of some of Europe’s biggest media groups, including Vivendi, Banijay and Mediawan.

James Barford was quoted in The Telegraph on "Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim buys £400m stake in BT"
13 June 2024James Barford at Enders Analysis said: “He might want some influence over the company’s strategy.”
Mr Barford said the Mexican tycoon may have been attracted to the potential payouts on offer from BT.
Karen Egan, telecoms expert at Enders Analysis, said the swoop from Slim showed the group was still ‘undervalued’.
‘The telecoms sector as a whole has been out of favour with investors for a long time,’ she said.
Francois Godard, a senior media analyst for Enders Analysis based in France, said the situation was “a sad one” for French football.
“The lack of competition in the domestic TV industry is the big problem,” he said. “The league has made such a big mistake when it sold the rights to Mediapro and then to Amazon instead of agreeing a deal with Canal+.”
Godard believes the LFP suffered from “over-confidence” after its 2021 agreement to sell a 13 per cent stake in its commercial operations to CVC Capital Partners for €1.5billion. The money was shared out between the clubs but means that CVC will take a cut of future TV money meaning even less for the teams.
Godard said selling the football rights directly to consumers was “very risky” as it was untested. “You are giving up the value of exclusivity,” he added. “I am worried they are going to be burning their boats.”

Douglas McCabe was quoted in City A.M on "Local news publisher Mill Media to come to London"
7 June 2024Commenting on the expansion in the context of the Standard’s decline, Douglas McCabe, director of publishing at Enders Analysis, told City A.M.: “It’s impossible not to feel sad about the retreat of the Evening Standard as a great city newspaper of outstanding heritage.
“It all too elegantly illustrates some of the fears about local news droughts our research has been describing in recent years.
“A small, agile, journalism-focused service like The Mill is a sound idea, though London’s enormous footprint is both prize and challenge. “
