Yann Barthes and “Le Petit Journal”: that is, it’s over – Le Point

Yann Barthes and Le Petit Journal, it’s over. For several weeks that the program was in the eye of the media storm. We were talking recently about his critical investigative methods and the clan side of the operation of writing in our article “The dark side of the Diary .” The show’s renewal negotiations with Canal + “low cost” of Vincent Bolloré seemed also skate. Monday morning, Yann Barthes has told AFP that he was leaving Le Petit Journal , the satirical cult Canal + he operated since 2011. The leader of 41 years old Canal + press officer, will present his last show on June 23 at 20 h 10, the end point of its fifth season. According to our information, it should arrive on France 2 next year with a weekly program.

Yann Barthes lived bad recent criticisms, and its relationship with Lawrence Good, co-producer of the magazine and he was yet very close, were distended. “I will present more Le Petit Journal next season. I want to write with teams Bangumi [the production company of the show, Ed] a new story and new adventures, “he said. The direction of Bangumi, Yann Barthes’s production company and Lawrence Good, said Canal + have informed that starting it two weeks ago. The chain has also announced for September “a renovated formula.” As she thanked Yann Barthes (former chain press officer) and Bangumi for “beautiful years together”, so it seems that Vivendi-Canal + will produce the least expensive emission either internally Flab or with another box production.

Hearings in 2016 down

Known for his impertinence and his visionary genius producer Lawrence Good, daily infotainment show (which mixes entertainment and information) was for two years the most watched programs in light of the chain, with an average audience twice as large as Le Grand Journal Michel Denisot and Maïtena Biraben. This year, hearings (1.2 million viewers, 4.8% audience share) were down, especially since early 2016 (- 30%), a result of the extension of the format (thirty-five minutes ) and a new programming at 20 h 10.

But the issue remained extremely profitable. “She reported about 50 000 in ad revenue per show, while participating in the shifted image channel,” says Philippe Nouchi, director of media expertise at VivaKi Advance. Vincent Bolloré, who visited the premises of Bangumi in September, had asked the company to reduce production costs. But he claimed before his impertinence of the show’s employees. November 12, in a one-person show at the Olympia before Vivendi’s employees and Canal +, the shareholder has made broadcast a skit in which Liliane Catherine and the gossips of the PJ expressed anxieties of being in the next “charter layoffs.

the end of the clear?

If the future seems assured thanks to Bangumi magazine second part of the evening that he must produce for next season on France 2, the starting Yann Barthes and the end of a flagship program like Le Petit Journal relaunched speculation about the end of clear on Canal +. “Nothing is decided yet,” assured us near Vincent Bolloré few days ago. The beaches clear of the chain are they still necessary? Are they an effective showcase and generating subscriptions? Nothing prevents Vincent Bolloré to reduce by nearly half the slices and thereby increase the hours in encrypted to “give more” to subscribers disoriented by the loss of sports rights in beIN parties (that wishes to recover with Canal + exclusive distribution agreement announced) or channels SFR group, and disappointed by the poor quality of films broadcast on Canal for two seasons. But it will likely then it renegotiates with the Higher Council of Audiovisual (CSA) a new agreement. For now, the CSA indicates that Vivendi, parent company Canal +, has not yet contacted on this subject. In the corridors of the house Canal, other rumors announce the imminent arrival of Jean-Marc Morandini or Cyril Hanouna.
