The audiences of Good morning
are definitely catastrophic. For almost two months, the morning news of TF1, supposed to compete with those of France 2 and BFMTV, has struggled to compete with them. This Thursday, February 29, 2024 for example, only 232,000 viewers respondedor almost three times less than Telematin. Bruce Toussaint was also well ahead of BFMTV, but also by CNews, whose morning show attracts around 310,000 viewers every day.
Faced with such a situation, TF1 seems to have taken a new decision to try to stop the bleeding and thus see the audiences of Good morning progress. According to journalist Clément Garin, Bruce Toussaint, who has hosted the program for two months, will soon take leave. The journalist, who resigned from BFMTV to embody this new format that is difficult to install, will take vacation during the month of April, and will be replaced by her colleague Maud Descampswhom he expressly poached from Telematin
. The journalist embodies her own column every day around 7:50 a.m., and offers viewers her Number of the day.
Christophe Beaugrand is not left out
While the spotlight has been on Christophe Beaugrand for several weeks, the latter will ultimately not be Bruce Toussaint’s official joker. It must be said that at the time of the latter’s vacation, Christophe Beaugrand will have a lot to do since he will work on the great return of Secret Story, expected at the end of April. On the other hand, still according to the same aforementioned source, Christophe Beaugrand would not be left on the sidelines by TF1. Indeed, the journalist and presenter should inherit the summer entertainment of Good morningand would thus ensure the interim of Bruce Toussaint for two continuous months.
Thus, the broadcast Good morning will be, like Telematin, broadcast 365 days a year, and will not take a break during the summer. On the Télématin side, Thomas Sotto and Marie Portolano will also take time off during the week, and will leave their seats to different jokers, like Jean-Baptiste Marteau, Adrien Rohard, Johanna Ghiglia and Samuel Ollivier. On the weekend, Damien Thévenot and Maya Lauqué will be replaced by Matthew Belliarda new recruit who has just arrived, Estelle Collin or even Anicet Mbida and Axel de Tarlé.
