The oldest game show in France, “Numbers and Letters”, will disappear from the France Télévisions schedules at the start of the school year, after more than fifty years of existence, announced the broadcast director Stéphane Sitbon-Gomez, in La Tribune Sunday.

“The weekend programming of +Numbers and Letters+ was not successful. After fifty years of existence, it is an emblematic meeting. “It’s a difficult decision but we have made the choice to stop this program,” he declared.
Since the start of the school year in September 2022, the game created in 1972 has only been broadcast on weekends. “A goodbye show will bring together Patrice Laffont and Laurent Romejko (its first and last presenters, Editor’s note), and will thank all the teams,” added the antenna director.
The place on France 3 for the emblematic game, on Saturday and Sunday at 5:15 p.m., will now be occupied by the television adaptation of another emblematic program from Radio France, “The game of 1,000 euros”, until now broadcast only on SATURDAY.
Mr. Sitbon-Gomez also announced the non-renewal of much more recent programs such as “Bertrand n’a pas slept” or “En bande organised”, “because they have not fully found their audience”. “On the other hand, many recent programs are being renewed, like +Cmedia+ (France 5) and +Bel et bien+ (France 2). We will also continue our strategy aimed at young audiences by investing in the Twitch platform from the start of the school year,” he continued.
