Is the format of “C à vous” stronger than its host, Anne-Élisabeth Lemoine? Invited this Tuesday, October 8, 2024 on “The 9:20 a.m. interview”, conducted by Léa Salamé on France Inter, Pierre-Antoine Capton, the man at the origin of “C à vous” when it was launched in 2009, estimated that the France 5 talk show stood out from its competitors. “He is the only one (in the PAF, editor’s note) today, who – and with all the respect I have for Anne-Élisabeth Lemoine and those who preceded her (Alessandra Sublet between 2009 and 2013 and Anne-Sophie Lapix between 2013 and 2017, editor’s note) – does not depend solely on its facilitator“, considered the chairman of the board of Mediawan.
“‘C à vous’, which has already had three presenters, can continue in the long term”
Before illustrating his point: “I think ‘What a time!’ without you, Léa Salamé, does not exist, ‘Quotidien’ does not exist without Yann Barthès, ‘Don’t touch my post!’ does not exist without Cyril Hanouna“, he listed. Anne-Élisabeth Lemoine will appreciate it. “I think that ‘C à vous’ which has already had three presenters can continue over time because there is a format, because there is cooking“, persisted the businessman who publicly admitted last year at the same time to thinking about the post-Anne-Élisabeth Lemoine era.

“She has my full support.”he declared to “Ouest-France” on October 21, 2023.She is very involved in the show. I am very happy that she is here and as long as she wants to, she will keep the presentation of ‘C to you’. Afterwards, you must always anticipate and prepare for the future. We bring in new personalities, like Aurélie Casse who does ‘C l’hebdo’ on Saturdays and who does her job very well (…) Aurélie or not, in any case, we always have to prepare for what comes next. And the contract is clear with Anne-Élisabeth, she is the one who keeps the show. And if one day she gets tired of it or if she doesn’t want it as much, we’ll talk to Stéphane Sitbon Gomez, the head of France Télévisions programs.“
“I’m simply telling you that this cooking format which can be mocked at times accompanies the French in a very important moment with very serious things, Patrick Cohen’s ‘editorial’ has been there to prove it for 14 years“, the owner of 3e Oeil productions, a company which has produced “C à vous” since 2009, then recalled on France Inter.We didn’t have any money at the time, we had the most ridiculous budget, which was five times less than that of the ‘Grand Journal’ (which Michel Denisot presented head-on on Canal+, editor’s note). And so we had to be different, we took a loft, instead of a large studio, we didn’t have the money to have an audience. We did it for fun and that’s what made us grow.” Puremédias invites you to listen to the sequence. This Tuesday, October 8, 2024, “C à vous” attracted 1.36 million viewers between 6:57 p.m. and 7:50 p.m. on France 5, or 9.0% of the public. A double season record!
