All Ligue 1 McDonald's transmissions will be distributed in high definition with a minimum of 21.503 Mbit/s MPEG4 on either Eutelsat 10B 10 degEast Transponder EVS72(Spot 105) or Eutelsat 7B located at 7°E.

Other distribution methods:
A different type of distribution (SRT / BT Tower) can be arranged in specific cases when European and Asian Satellite distribution aren’t possible.

Interview Module
A new module named “Interviews Module” has been made available on the Ligue 1 Broadcast Hub since 2023/24 season. The Interview tool has been developed with the aim of making weekly interview requests easier for International Broadcasters
When playing at home, each club will make a player available during the week preceding the match. Except for clubs playing matches during the week (European competitions, National Cup, etc.). The proposed player must have played at least 50% of the matches or be the subject of a special request from a broadcaster. Broadcasters will be able to apply for an interview via the Interview Module by submitting an editorial set-up.
How does it works?
Steps to apply to a weekly interview on the "clubs interviews" section
1. Click on "Clubs Interviews"
2. Select a game with the player(s) you would like to interview
3. Fill in your request
4. Complete the request form (Reporter contact / way of recording, etc.)
5. Select your slot (single or multi-sessions)
6. Detail your editorial project: topics covered, questions, number of people, recording device, broadcast schedule, platforms...
7. Click on submit
8. If the request is approved by LFP Media : coordination between the stakeholders (club, league and broadcaster) to organize the interview
interviews sections
In addition to club interviews, various other types of interviews will be offered throughout the season.
