Only a few weeks left before C8 officially stops broadcasting on TNT. On December 12, the Regulatory Authority for Audiovisual and Digital Communication (Arcom) confirmed, in a decision made public, the exclusion of the channel.
This sanction, linked to several excesses by Cyril Hanouna in Don’t touch my post (the channel accumulates a fine of 7.6 million euros imposed by Arcomeditor’s note), unleashes passions.
And if the star host is angry, he is obviously not the only one to point the finger at Arcom’s decision. Guest of Mélanie Taravant on the set of C Media this Sunday January 12, 2025, Alexia Laroche-Joubert indeed denounced “a denial of democracy“.
“You withdraw a channel, which is the first of TNT, from an audience“, she lamented. Although the producer did not question the sanctions imposed, she still expressed her frustration with the current state of things. “The principle of justice is when you have paid your sentence. You cannot be convicted twice. C8 paid 7,500,000 euros. They were convicted and paid their debt“.
“We are not worried about the future of Cyril Hanouna”
Despite this particularly severe sanction, Alexia Laroche-Joubert has no concerns about the future of Cyril Hanouna. “The advantage of Cyril Hanouna is that he is the best communicator about himself. I am confident about the future of Cyril Hanouna. We do not deprive ourselves of such talent, such notoriety“, she indicated before adding that the continuity of Don’t touch my post on another channel was currently “under study“.
“The advantage is that the universe of possibilities is wide“, continued the businesswoman who regrets the impact of this punishment on other employees. “That’s what annoys me on C8, because to be honest with you, H2O (Cyril Hanouna’s production company, editor’s note), we are not worried about Cyril Hanouna’s future. On the other hand, there are a lot of companies and a social plan for 200 people who will unfortunately be fired because of this decision and who will not find work. Television is in a bit of a crisis.“A sad observation.
