Tuesday evening, a little before 7 p.m., many viewers reported via X (formerly Twitter) problems with reception of Canal+ group channels. In particular, they found themselves deprived of being able to follow the first minutes of “La tribu de Baba”, the Cyril Hanouna program offered before “Touche pas à mon poste”.
Cyril Hanouna reassures after a technical incident impacting the broadcast of C8 and CNews
“Am I the only one who has a problem with two channels, CNews and C8? They’re the only ones that don’t work anymore… Did they cut it or is it just me?”, “Is it just me or C8 and CNews don’t work anymore??”, “It looks like they unplugged C8… More images, no more sounds, black screen… Big bug at C8 and CNews”, “CNews and C8 suddenly blaring… Canal+ is working well for the moment… A technical problem? A cyber attack? A blackout?”, “Who knows why C8 and CNews are no longer broadcast? Breakdown?”, “I no longer have C8 on CanalSat. Is this normal?“, we could see flourishing on the social network formerly called Twitter.
Cyril Hanouna was quick to report these reception problems on C8. “It seems that there are small problems on CanalSat. There is no CStar, no CNews, no C8…“, he indicated upon returning from an advertising page. The host, whose future is threatened by Arcom’s decision not to renew the frequency of C8 beyond February 28, 2025, s ‘is then quick to reassure viewers.For those who are watching us and who are on normal TNT, tell your friends who are watching us on CanalSat or elsewhere that they are trying to see what the problem is“, he told them before launching in a humorous tone: “Apparently, it’s sabotage and the saboteur’s initials are JMM…”.
Via the show’s X account, the “TPMP” teams also informed viewers. “Darlings, don’t panic, we see your comments. We are still here. We are trying to resolve the problem as quickly as possible!“, they wrote on the social network now owned by Elon Musk. This incident did not taint the entire broadcast of the C8 flagship since around 7:30 p.m., the impacted viewers reported having found the signal of all Canal+ group channels.
