Who will win Beijing Express, in the footsteps of the golden tiger ? Fans of the show expected to have the answer this Thursday, May 2 from 9:10 p.m. on M6, but that was without counting on a football match which came to play spoilsport. Indeed, the sixth channel will broadcast the semi-final first leg of the Europa League that evening. A meeting which will pit Olympique de Marseille against Atalanta Bergamo. Without the qualification of the team from the Marseille city, M6 would not have broadcast this match, but OM finally won during the return match of the quarter-final which had already taken place on a Thursday and led to a cancellation of Beijing Expressjust like the first leg the previous week.
This football match which disrupts the programming of M6 and Canal+
The semi-final of the Europa League disrupts the programming of the competition’s other broadcaster, Canal+, which had to make changes to its schedule. Thus, the encrypted channel postponed the broadcast of episodes 9 and 10 of season 2 of Tokyo Vice at 11:20 p.m. The semi-final return the following week will not disturb fans of Beijing Express whose grand finale of season 18 will have been broadcast at 9:10 p.m. on Saturday May 4. Thus the M6 show will be in head-to-head competition with TF1’s tele-hook, The Voicewhich should logically outstrip the adventure game in terms of audience if it remains average.
