What about the hierarchy in the evening? Based on data published this Thursday, November 14, 2024 by Médiamétrie, Puremédias deciphers the results of the first two months of the season section by section from PAF radio stations. Dominated by RTL and its “Big Heads” in the afternoon – despite a sharp drop – France Inter regains leadership at 6 p.m. His “18/20”, presented by Fabienne Sintès, informed 901.000 listeners on average in September-October 2024. The box emerges strengthened from this wave with a gain of 95.000 listeners over one year. At 7:20 p.m., “The telephone is ringing” rang out at 871.000 listeners against 795.000 last year at the same time. Also in good momentum, this crossroads attracts 76,000 additional listeners over one year.
RTL's “18/20” pales despite the transfer of Yves Calvi
Very far behind, RTL's “18/20”, in the red every quarter of an hour on average, has attracted the attention of 381.000 listeners, or 86.000 less than last season. In detail, “RTL Soir”, now presented by Yves Calvi, the station's former morning worker, and Agnès Bonfillon, informed 456,000 listeners. There were 552,000 of them listening to the same program carried by Julien Sellier and Marion Calais between 6 p.m. and 7:15 p.m. Marc-Antoine Le Bret and his column “Le Bret King News”, offered every evening at 6:53 p.m., made an average of 388,000 listeners laugh: RTL's 6:30 p.m.-6:45 p.m. thus gained 79,000 listeners. Between 7:15 p.m. and 8 p.m., finally, “We are remaking the world” interested 256,000 listeners (- 70,000).
Bronze medalist of the generalists, “Rothen is on fire”, led by Jérôme Rothen, deprived unlike last year of the Rugby World Cup, brought together, on average 241.000 auditors in September and October 2024 and shows a loss of 35.000 listeners.
On Europe 1, the 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. slot, on which Laurence Ferrari (“Punchline”) is aligned in the first hour and Pierre de Vilno (“Europe 1 evening”) in the second hour, is listened to by 141,000 listeners on average (+ 29,000 on one year). In detail, the former presenter of TF1's “20 Heures” (2008-2012) tells the news of the day to 236,000 listeners (+ 67,000) while Pierre de Vilno keeps 155,000 (+ 42,000) between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. The second hour of 'Europe 1 evening' between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. is also starting to rise again.
Faustine Bollaert does no better than Flavie Flament on RTL, RMC's 8 p.m.-midnight show on the downward slope
As for programs broadcast after 8 p.m., on France Inter, “La 20eheure”, a program with Éva Bester, was listened to by 329.000 listeners (69.000 more than “Grand canal” at the same time last year). On RTL, “Héros”, a new show presented by Faustine Bollaert, found favor in the eyes of 128.000 listeners between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. and is on par with “Jour D”, hosted by Flavie Flament last season.
On RMC, Nicolas Jamain, at the helm of “Génération After Foot” from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m., passionately 111.000 listeners in September and October 2024. The program has misplaced 32.000 listeners over one year. From 10 p.m. to midnight, “L’After Foot” with Daniel Riolo and Gilbert Brisbois is also in the red. He entertained 136.000 football fans (– 61.000 listeners over one year)
