Is the supremacy of Émilien, master of midday for over a year now, starting to tire viewers? It's impossible to say, but if we simply refer to the figures, the TF1 midday show achieved its lowest audience share score this Thursday, December 5, 2024. “Les 12 coups de midi”, presented by Jean-Luc Reichmann since 2010, has in fact brought together 32,6% of the public present in front of their television yesterday midday, which corresponded to 2.65 million viewers. Its previous downward record on this indicator was established on November 1 (33.2% PDA).
Double record for “4 weddings for a honeymoon”
It must be said that the show has had the same champion, Émilien, since September 25, 2023. The 21-year-old student, who shines with his knowledge, has so far accumulated more than 1.76 million euros in winnings. What to discourage your opponents? “It demotivated me a little, but we always have a little hope. You never know if he's having a bad day or tired“, confided to “Télé 2 Semaines” Cem, a candidate who tried his luck against him on October 9, 2024. “Records are logically made to be broken“, tempers Emilien for his part.

Has this drop in speed for the headline show benefited the competing game on France 2? This Thursday, “Everyone wants to take their place” is still far behind but has exceeded 20 audience share points. The meeting presented by Cyril Féraud made 1.71 million viewers (20.4% of the public) rack their brains.
-If “Les 12 coups de midi” was at its lowest point this Thursday, another show from the group was in great shape. “4 Weddings for a Honeymoon”, broadcast 3 episodes per day, between 4:25 p.m. and 7 p.m. on TFX, achieved its season record. The last episode, which started at 6:15 p.m. and ended at 7 p.m., averaged 400.000 viewers either 3,1% audiences aged 4 and over. The program is at its highest on both indicators.
Sport on France 3 is struggling
France 3's sports programs, on the other hand, make a face. Faced with the declaration of the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron, “All sport”, presented every day by Fabien Lévêque at 7:50 p.m., only attracted 979,000 viewers and 4,9% of the public. This is the first time since September 20 that the event has fallen under the million faithful mark. The Trois sports newspaper is at its lowest of the season in audience share. Just after, “Le mag Ligue 1”, also proposed by Fabien Lévêque, does not do better since it is also at its lowest of the season in audience share, with only 2,9% of the public in front of the magazine devoted to the news of the French football championship.
