After coming close to being deleted and being narrowly saved following the confinements of the 2020s, France 4 regains a strategic position in the numbering of DTT.
From June 6, the channel will move from channel 14 to channel 4, recently vacated by Canal+, Arcom revealed this Monday, January 13, 2025.
France 4 is gaining ground
Stéphane Sitbon-Gomezdirector of antennas and programs at France Télévisions, took advantage of this announcement to grant an interview to Puremédias. An interview during which the thirty-year-old spoke at length about “its priorities in terms of flows in a grid constrained by economies“.
“This is a historic turning point. Arcom had the courage to rethink TNT as a whole and breathe new life into it. We have been waiting for a real boost of modernity for more than ten years. It’s successful. Beyond us, this gives a chance to place TNT in the future. The French are truly lucky to have access to such a variety of free offers. With a real block of news channels, it is the choice of pluralism at a time when our country really needs it. And by bringing together public service channels, we will offer demanding, quality content“, he confided before tackling another subject: the change of facilitator Everyone wants to take their place.
Cyril Féraud vs Jean-Luc Reichmann
After being hosted by Jarry for several weeks, it was finally Cyril Féraud who took over from the comedian to present the show. The swimmer Théo Curin, for his part, took over the reins of Slam. A change that seems to work wonderfully.
-“That Théo Curin stabilizes in the scores where he is after 15 years of hosting “Slam” by Cyril Féraud is a huge achievement and it shows all his talent. We’re talking about a boy who had never hosted a game before. He’s someone we’ve built a relationship with. Becoming a TV host was a deep desire of his and it will become one of the greats of TV. As for Cyril, at noon, it’s great and on all targets too. We are really making progress. For me, this is one of the challenges of continuing to progress at lunchtime“, explained Stéphane Sitbon-Gomez who seems to think that with Cyril, the gap between France 2 and TF1 (Les 12 shots of noon with Jean-Luc Reichmann, editor’s note) will quickly shrink.
According to him, “Cyril is now an essential and unifying talent“. The host therefore has every chance of dethroning his opponent.
