The hazards of live. Viewers who usually follow the 19.45 of M6 saw their edition end at just 8:02 p.m. Indeed, a subject on National Education entitled “the blackboard of teacher resignation” was airing when the commercial suddenly cut into the report. If some waited to discover the rest of the edition, it never came back.
A situation which did not fail to provoke a reaction on X, formerly Twitter. Indeed, many Internet users reacted following this cut. “Actually, 19.45 tonight was a story, right?” “Small problem with 7:45 p.m.? Don’t we have the right to the end of the news?”“We’re going back to the days of Six Minutes”, “The 7:45 p.m. already starts at 7:55 p.m. with all the adverts you put on us but now there are adverts right in the newspaper”, “It wasn’t an advert , it’s completely over”many Internet users quipped.
Huge technical problem this evening in the middle of the news. Unable to continue. Please excuse us ! #m6#7:45 p.m.

The presenter Xavier de Moulins
was quick to react either. Indeed, a few minutes after the sudden stop of 19.45, the journalist wished
apologize
to viewers.
“Huge technical problem this evening in the middle of the news. Can’t continue”he first wrote before continuing: “Please excuse us !” For his part, M6 also wished to apologize via a press release published on X: “Following an external technical problem, we were unable to continue broadcasting 19.45. We apologize to our viewers for this inconvenience.” Apologies accepted by some Internet users who indicated to the channel that they were ready to “pass the towel”.
