Motors TV CEO made this statement a few days ago (translated from the original French by IMTranslator):
Jean-Luc Roy, CEO of Motors TV, spoke on the subject:
> >
> > 'Many of you we have sent messages in recent weeks by mail or through
> > social networks, to surprise you, delight or irritate you for changing
> > the positioning Motors TV in the service plans of different platforms in
> > France or abroad.

> > The exercise that I will deliver me here is complex, insofar as it is to
