What will happen to Cyril Hanouna when C8 stops? At the helm of Touche pas à mon poste since the channel’s launch, the host might not survive… Since Arcom decided to cut the frequency of Canal+’s little sister, the future of the presenter is no longer clear cut. And in an investigation published this Saturday, October 19, Le Parisien was categorical: Cyril Hanouna should even leave television.
“The Canal+ group will broadcast the daily program until February 28, 2025 but not beyond. The date was not chosen at random”a source informed our colleagues. According to someone close to the matter, Cyril Hanouna’s future has darkened. “Everyone is wondering about the future of Hanouna here, but no one dares to talk about it. It’s a taboo subject. The more time passes, the more obvious it seems that they hold him responsible for the closure , he explained. It’s going to be very complicated for him to stay.”
Cyril Hanouna prefers to laugh about it
At odds with half of the PAF, Cyril Hanouna would like to leave TV… for the web. According to Le Parisien, “the presenter dreams of launching a digital platform offering a vast range of programs on the Internet” including Don’t touch my post. But for the moment, nothing has been done. And on the Canal+ group side, we firmly deny the daily news.
“NWe are making every effort to consider alternatives to preserve the presence of Cyril Hanouna on our airwaves after 12 years of loyalty and friendship with the group”replied the boss of C8.
“Our commitment to Cyril Hanouna, one of the most talented and recognized animators in France, is unwavering. It is also about providing our full support to the 400 employees whose jobs are directly threatened by this decision and for whom this situation is particularly worrying.”wrote Gérald-Brice Viret again. And while its future is on everyone’s lips, Cyril Hanouna is careful not to say more.
TPMP broadcast at least until February 28, 2025
This Monday, October 21, it was with a nod to the rumors that he opened his show on Europe 1. But don’t count on him to be very clear. “I know, a lot of people are wondering what my professional future will be. Don’t worry, for the moment it is not moving. What I can tell you is that it doesn’t move, assured the host of TPMP hilariously. We’ll obviously talk about it later.”
“But personally, I am more worried about Fabien Lecoeuvre’s professional future than about mine”he added in a final pirouette. Difficult to know more officially… He should talk about it in more detail around the Touche pas à mon poste table. While waiting for a clarified situation, the show will still be on C8 for several months. “We reaffirm that TPMP will be broadcast until the last day when the frequency of C8 allows it, i.e. February 28, 2025”affirmed the general director of Canal+.
