This Tuesday, October 1, the France 2 channel was forced to broadcast rebroadcasts of Telematin. The live broadcast was not possible due to a strike.
A strike affecting the public service. A few weeks ago, Flavie Flament and Julien Arnaud took control of Télématin on France 2. The hosting duo began to get their bearings and get used to the morning schedule. But this Tuesday, October 1, they experienced their first unexpected event, and not the least. The show, broadcast live, could not be done and was replaced by rebroadcasts from previous days. A strike disrupts France Télévisions, explains Jean-Marc Morandini.
France Télévisions affected by a strike
This Tuesday October 1st is marked by a day of national strike. The CGT, Solidaires and FSU, and youth organizations have called for strikes and demonstrations against pension reform and for wage increases. Many sectors are affected and France Télévisions has paid the price. France 2 was unable to broadcast live Telematinnor the news slot from 6 a.m. to 6:30 a.m., usually presented by Jean-Baptiste Marteau. This is not the only channel of the group to be impacted, the continuous news channel, France Info started the morning by offering loops of reports in place of its live broadcast. It remains to be seen whether this strike will impact other programs of the group during the day.
The audiences of Telematin stable since the arrival of Julien Arnaud and Flavie Flament
