Cyril Hanouna: new feat for the host of “TPMP”

« Don’t touch my post » (TPMP), controversial program by Cyril Hanouna, welcomes audiences “ historical » in October, while CNews, also within the Canal+ group, retains its leadership of news channels, according to Médiamétrie reports on November 4, 2024.

The C8 channel, which broadcasts TPMP, is delighted to “ historical records » for its talk show with 2.1 million viewers on average, notably highlighting a peak of more than 2.6 million and an audience share of 27.8% among 15-24 year olds.

C8, which has a fine of 7.6 million euros due to Cyril Hanouna’s slip-ups, must stop broadcasting on TNT after February 28, 2025, according to a decision by the audiovisual regulator, Arcom.

The channel (like NRJ12) contests its exclusion from the applications selected for the reallocation of 15 frequencies in 2025 and has referred the matter to the Council of State.

In the match between the news channels, BFMTV is once again suffering against CNews. The latter is the leading news channel in October with 3.1% audience share, compared to 2.9% for BFMTV, 1.6% for LCI and 0.9% for franceinfo.

BFMTV experienced a break in July and August, regaining its crown after being dispossessed by CNews in May and June. And CNews took the lead in September.

While BFMTV is in the hands of billionaire Rodolphe Saadé through CMA CGM, CNews is the property (just like C8) of the Canal+ group (a channel which celebrates its 40th anniversary on Monday) of the ultra-conservative Vincent Bolloré. Many left-wing politicians accuse CNews of promoting far-right ideas, which it disputes.

This fall, Fabien Namias, previously deputy general director of the competing channel LCI (TF1 group), succeeded Marc-Olivier Fogiel at the head of BFMTV.

« BFMTV aims to be the reference news channel. We must first stabilize our audience by capitalizing on our fundamentals, before setting out again to conquer (…) It’s a question of months rather than weeks“, explained Fabien Namias in Le Parisien this weekend.

The BFMTV editorial team has seen around twenty departures in recent weeks, which its new manager puts into perspective: “ out of 800 journalists (within the group), it is therefore a limited phenomenon« .

The manager is, however, concerned by Arcom’s project to consolidate the numbering of news channels: “ This would have a negative impact on our audiences and therefore on our finances.« .
