The C8 channel and its flagship show “Touche Pas à Mon Poste” have an expiry date: February 28. But then, what future for Cyril Hanouna, his show and his columnists? The host is reportedly in negotiations with the M6 channel. Karine Le Marchand, flagship figure of the channel, threatens to leave if Cyril Hanouna arrives on M6.
“If he comes, I’ll go.“This is the very clear position of Karine Le Marchand in an interview given to Libération concerning a possible arrival of Cyril Hanouna on M6. Indeed, from February 28, the C8 channel, as well as its flagship program hosted by Cyril Hanouna, will not be renewed Why? Because the Audiovisual and Digital Communication Regulatory Authority (Arcom) decided last July not to renew the channel’s TNT frequency, following numerous complaints. convictions.
It’s out of the question
While C8 could return at the start of the school year in September, discussions would take place between Cyril Hanouna and M6, as Karine Le Marchand reveals to Libération. The presenter of L’Amour est dans le pré, who has been in conflict with Hanouna for many years, is firmly opposed to her arrival on the channel. “There is no way I would be in the same group and in the same photo as someone who has been harassing, despising and insulting me non-stop for seven years, and who openly criticizes me.” She adds: “Just yesterday, he attacked Wokism, declared himself pro-Elon Musk and said he wanted to send him chocolates.“
According to her, an arrival of this star host, but controversial would be “catastrophic” in “picture terms“, and to oppose it is “an ethical question“.
In 2020, M6 had already banned its hosts from participating in the TPMP show after inappropriate comments from Jean-Michel Maire against Karine Le Marchand. According to Libération, Julien Courbet, another M6 presenter, would also support Karine Le Marchand.
What future?
According to media observer Clément Garin and Libération, the conductor of the TPMP show is in discussions to join the M6 group, perhaps on the W9 channel and RTL radio.
Owned by the Canal+ group, in the hands of conservative billionaire Vincent Bolloré, C8 has accumulated fines of 7.6 million euros due to Hanouna’s slip-ups. He himself put forward a “serious idea” at the beginning of January: switching to CStar, another channel of the Canal+ group, for “a TPMP-type talk show from 6:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.”.
In recent months, he has also mentioned the project of broadcasting programs on the internet.
