City of Geneva negotiates with Hersant

The Geneva City Council has instructed the city administration's general management to enter into negotiations with investors Philippe Hersant and Stéphane Barbier-Mueller regarding the local television station Léman Bleu. According to Le Temps, details such as the wording of the contracts and the distribution of board seats are still being discussed. However, the government council reserves the right to return to the rival offer from Edipresse if the negotiations with Hersant fail.
