Artists such as Alan Stivell, Tri Yann and Glenmor, major social movements such as the Joint Français strike in 1972, and the creation of a large number of Breton organizations and parties[3] led to a genuine revival of a sense of regional identity in Brittany.

[7] Secondly, at the same time, the nationalists wanted to "salute in their own way" the visit of Health Minister Michel Poniatowski to Quimper in February 1974, and thus give their demands international resonance.

[7] Despite the presence of military personnel on manoeuvres around the Roc'h Trédudon station during the night,[8] two of the activists managed to place their bombs on the pylon bases.

[2] According to one of Roc'h Trédudon's managers, the human toll could have been much higher: the explosion could have claimed the lives of the technicians as well as the janitor and his family, who were present that night.

[12] According to FLB activists, this break could only be beneficial to the Breton people, in contrast to "the harmful role of TV",[9] and there was even talk of a possible return of the baby boom to Brittany in the months following the attack.

[13] In any case, full repairs to the Roc'h Trédudon antenna were not completed until 1975,[1] and in the months following the attack, the village of Plounéour-Ménez saw a record number of curious onlookers, from which the surrounding restaurants probably profited.

Nevertheless, this attack marked a decisive turning point in the history of the FLB: from that date onwards, the pro-independence organization claimed responsibility for its action in a press release sent to a local media outlet the very next day, rather than by leaving a note on the spot.

[12] In an interview, the singer Youenn Gwernig described the latter as "people who reacted exactly like kids, like babies who had their candy cane taken away from them", whereas they used to denigrate ORTF programs.

[12] As for Yann Goulet, his reaction was more unexpected, since in his traditional statement he went so far as to deplore the effects of the attack and "the trouble it caused to old people whose only distraction was television".

The media and the general public initially suspected the French army, which was carrying out manoeuvres around the Roc'h Trédudon site on the evening of the attack, and some sources, such as historians Lionel Henry and Annick Lagadec, suggested that it might have been marine commandos.

[7] In 1999, Jean Baklouti, formerly of the DST, declared in Le Télégramme that the attack "was very sophisticated, too much for the FLB, but on reflection we thought of Yann Puillandre, who was an ex-military man", but that "the monstrous raids" and telephone tapping had not led to an indictment.
