After six years on France 2, “Un si grand soleil” has completed its first week on France 3. A successful transfer? It all depends on the point of view from which one observes the curves.
An interesting result for France 3 but a bad operation for the series
With the exception of Monday, September 9, 2024, the running-in day, the soap opera has, according to initial trends, found its cruising speed with up to 2.42 million viewers on Tuesday, September 10 and 12.2% of the audience on Friday, September 13.
On average and in the previous day’s audience, the daily series with Mélanie Maudran among others thus brought together, every evening around 8:40 p.m., 2,28 millions of viewers, which represents 11,4% audiences aged four and over.
An interesting result for Trois, which gathered in this slot, occupied last year at the same time by “Aux jeux citoyens!” with Carole Gaessler, barely 903,000 viewers, or 4.5% of the audience (average for the week from Monday 11 to Friday 15 September 2023). For the series, on the other hand, it is clearly a bad operation. From 12 to 15 September 2023 (it had not been broadcast on Monday 11), “Un si grand soleil”, then on France 2, counted 3.00 million viewers, or 14.8% of the audience.

More broadly, between Monday, August 27, 2018 and Friday, September 6, 2024, the 1,388 episodes of ‘Un si grand soleil’, broadcast in the 8:40 p.m. slot (the other 75 were scheduled in a row during special prime time), brought together an average of 3.48 million viewers, according to Médiamétrie. This represents 16.0% of the audience.
In the last season, between August 28, 2023 and September 6, 2024, “Un si grand soleil” was able to count on 3.18 million viewers on France 2, or 15.8% of the public. This is a question of standby audience. This average does not include consumption on the france.tv platform.

In his response to the question posed by puremedias.comaccording to which the switch of the soap opera from France 2 to France 3 could cost it in audiences, Stéphane Sitbon-Gomez, director of antennas and programs at France Télévisions, dodged the issue and adopted a group vision on September 4th during the back-to-school press conference of the public audiovisual group. “On “Un si grand soleil”, I have two certainties. First, that France 3 will be strengthened and more powerful with its arrival (in other words, it is clear that the reverse is not guaranteed, it, editor’s note). Above all, that with this programming, France Télévisions will be much stronger from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m.”
