PARIS, Feb 22 (Reuters) - French media regulator Arcom
on Wednesday said the bids submitted by TF1  TFFP.PA  and M6

the next round of the licensing process.
    The attempt made by the group of billionaire Xavier Niel to
win one of the slots for his rival SIX programme had been
discarded. 
    The final decision will be rendered by the regulator before
