The Wheel of the Right Price, its majestic window and its legendary games are soon back ! Eight years after the game was stopped on TF1, and the end of the collaboration between Vincent Lagaf’ and Gérard Vives, who co-hosted the game from 2009 to 2015, it was Éric Antoine that M6 and Fremantle chose to play take back the reins. Filming started a few weeks ago already, and for several days, M6 has been teasing the big return, with the disclosure of the logo, and the revelation of the return of emblematic games, like The fakir, The punchAnd The Tyrolean. Other games will be back but refreshed, like Hand in the bag renamed Hand in the hatin homage to the illusionist and animator Éric Antoine.
Problem: this Tuesday, February 20, 2024, fans of the game were furious when they learned that the latter would return at an ultra-confidential schedule. Indeed, M6 has formalized the return of The Right Price on Monday March 11, 2024, but it will not be in prime-time access that the faithful will be able to find the program… but rather at 5:30 p.m. ! M6 hesitated for a long time, but finally chose to confront Éric Antoine with
Large families
from TF1, to Everyone has a say on France 2 and Slam on France 3. A carefully considered schedule but which made the fans of the game jump, who made it known that they would not have returned from work and which they will therefore not be able to watchThe right price…
A disaster area, catastrophic hearings in sight?
“The schedule is catastrophic”, “I wouldn’t have scheduled it at 5:30 p.m. Let’s see what that will do”, “No one will watch at 5:30 p.m.”, “How to kill the program that hasn’t even started yet. The incompetents at M6, it’s not moving. No one is going to watch at that time.”I’m sincerely happy with the return of the game, but 5:30 p.m. without messing around ?” thus deplored hundreds of Internet users. A nice publicity stunt in the end for the game, the return of which benefits from strong visibility. But Éric Antoine, who had already criticized the M6 programmers when they broadcast his game Lego Masters at the start of the year, will have a lot to do to increase the audiences of M6 in this deserted space. In fact, since the start of the school year, the show The castle of my dreams that M6 broadcasts in this same box only brings together 530,000 viewers for 5.7% of the public. Will M6’s efforts to relaunch this box pay off? Answer soon.
