Axel Duroux Exits TF1

PARIS: TF1’s second in command, Axel Duroux, is exiting the French broadcasting group with immediate effect over "strategic differences."

Duroux’s stint as executive VP of the TF1 group was a brief one, after just having joined the group last month from RTL Group in France. "TF1 and Axel Duroux decided by mutual agreement to terminate their collaboration because of strategic differences regarding the management of the company," TF1 said in a statement. Reports indicate that Duroux clashed with TF1’s chief executive, Nonce Paolini.
