They were waiting for him with a firm footing. Indeed, the leader of the Republican party, Valérie Pécresse, and Eric Zemmour, leader of the Reconquest! party, were to “compete” during a debate scheduled for Thursday, March 10 on TF1. The evening will indeed take place, but not under the conditions they would have hoped for. Indeed, only the first 20 minutes of the debate will be broadcast on the first channel, as explained by our colleagues from Mariannebefore handing over to LCI.
According to them, TF1 “only intends to broadcast the first twenty minutes of the show, before handing over to LCI”. This causes a great upheaval in the evening of the supporters of the two candidates for the 2022 presidential election. Given that they will be able to follow the “duel” on the first channel from 8:25 p.m. to 8:45 p.m. before finding them on LCI, until 9:35 p.m. . But why did the channel opt for such a change? Simply for the audience. Because instead of an entire evening devoted to the debate, TF1 will broadcast its series in prime time Balthazarwhich has always recorded excellent scores.
Our colleagues from Puremedia recalling that the series with Tomer Sisley always brings together as many viewers. “Broadcast at the end of 2020, season 3 of Balthazar had been able to count on average and in consolidated audience on 7.20 million viewers according to Médiamétrie, which represents an audience share of 29.2% among individuals aged 4 and over. “, explains the media. On the side of the clan of Valérie Pécresse and Eric Zemmour, no one has yet reacted. But there is no doubt that it will not be long. And even more so if, in the coming days, Emmanuel Macron or another candidate is entitled to a full evening on TF1. Something to which the candidate of the Republicans and that of Reconquest will not have been entitled!.
