Every year, a survey on the French’s favorite presenters allows us to paint a fascinating portrait of the public figures who mark the daily lives of citizens. This classification, often carried out by TV Magazinereflects not only the tastes and trends of the moment, but also the evolution of public opinion towards the personalities of the French Audiovisual Landscape.
In 2024, the survey of the French’s favorite presenters brought out new figures, while confirming the place of certain big names. If the popularity of celebrities remains marked by criteria of benevolence, commitment and proximity to the public, this edition also shows the impact of new generations on public opinion.

Faustine Bollaert speaks
Very happy to have been awarded for the second year in a row, Faustine Bollaert expressed her joy in the columns of TV Mag : “Last year, I didn’t expect it.

I take this place as a testimony of affection from the public with which I have a real emotional commitment”.
On Instagram, the pretty brunette made another statement to express her happiness : “Thank you for this new 1ʳᵉ place in your heart. Thank you for your votes, this direct recognition which moves mine so much. Thank you for your words when I meet you, for your trust when I receive you.
Thank you for these 25 years together and these 8 years when you invited me to have coffee at your place.”
And added: “Thank you for those, many in the shadows, who hold my hand every day.
Thank you for the chocolates, the bottles of wine and especially the sausages in the markets! Thank you for all the laughter and tears shared. For this empathy and tenderness that you give me. Thank you for our complicity, your humor, for this “we” always confirmed. Congratulations to Karine and my friend Nikos Aliagas whom I have always known for his elegance and tenderness”.
