The Impact of TNT\u2019s New Numbering on News Channels<\/h2>\n

The landscape of French television news has undergone a significant shift with the recent \u00a0renumbering of the TNT\u00a0 (T\u00e9l\u00e9vision Num\u00e9rique Terrestre). In a decision aimed at enhancing viewer access to information, channels have been reorganized, creating a block of news channels from \u00a0BFMTV\u00a0 on channel 13 to \u00a0Franceinfo\u00a0 on channel 16. Four days post-renumbering, CNews emerged as a formidable player, leading the charge in audience ratings on Monday, June 9, 2025.<\/p>\n

CNews captured an impressive \u00a03.8%\u00a0 share of viewers aged four and over throughout the day, positioning it neatly as the sixth most-viewed channel in France. This performance placed the channel ahead of \u00a0TMC\u00a0 (4.7%) and closely rivaled France 5 and Arte, which both recorded \u00a03.7%\u00a0. Notable is CNews’s dominance over its primary competitor, BFMTV, particularly among the \u00a025-49 age demographic\u00a0, scoring \u00a02.9%\u00a0 compared to \u00a02.7%\u00a0 for BFMTV. Despite having a greater overall viewership, BFMTV has been noted for its shorter viewing durations, achieving a \u00a02.9%\u00a0 rating this month\u2014marking a peak level but still trailing CNews in audience share.<\/p>\n

Morning Ratings Reveal Shifts in Viewer Preferences<\/h2>\n

Detailed analysis of the morning programming from BFMTV shows that \u00a0Apolline de Malherbe\u2019s\u00a0 four shows were outperformed in their time slots. The flagship program, ”\u00a0Premi\u00e8re \u00e9dition\u00a0,” engaged \u00a0197,000 viewers\u00a0, which fell short of CNews’s ”\u00a0La matinale\u00a0,” attracting \u00a0200,000\u00a0\u2014a thin margin, yet crucial in the competitive landscape.<\/p>\n

CNews further solidified its lead between \u00a08:30 AM and 9:00 AM\u00a0, where ”\u00a0Le face-\u00e0-face\u00a0,” hosted by Apolline de Malherbe, captured \u00a0360,000 viewers\u00a0, while BFMTV’s offerings lagged. The disparity grew even more pronounced between \u00a09:00 AM and 10:00 AM\u00a0, as CNews’s ”\u00a0L’heure des pros\u00a0,” performed exceptionally, bringing in a staggering \u00a0632,000 viewers\u00a0\u2014a clear victory over BFMTV’s ”\u00a0Apolline de 9 \u00e0 10\u00a0,” which attracted only \u00a0272,000 viewers\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Evening Insights: CNews Dominates the 5 PM Slot<\/h2>\n

The competition intensified as the evening rolled in. Between \u00a05 PM and 7 PM\u00a0, CNews’s ”\u00a0Le grand dossier\u00a0” and ”\u00a024 Heures Pujadas\u00a0” began to take the lead over BFMTV\u2019s ”\u00a0BFM Story\u00a0,” relegating it to third place among the news channels. By \u00a07 PM\u00a0, CNews’s ratings further expanded, dominating with its second hour of ”\u00a024 Heures Pujadas\u00a0,” claiming \u00a0377,000 viewers\u00a0 against BFMTV’s \u00a0299,000 viewers\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, BFMTV found rejuvenation with the \u00a09 PM\u00a0 broadcasting slot. The program, ”\u00a0Le Forum BFMTV\u00a0,” hosted by Maxime Switek, secured a \u00a02.4%\u00a0 share of the audience, marking the channel’s best Monday performance of the year.<\/p>\n

Stunning Weekend Performance for CNews<\/h2>\n

The weekend of Pentecost turned into a historic success for CNews. On Saturday, June 7, it reported an unprecedented viewership split with a \u00a03.0%\u00a0 audience share versus BFMTV’s \u00a02.5%\u00a0\u2014the largest gap ever recorded on a Saturday. However, this momentum faltered on Sunday, where viewership softened dramatically due to major sports events, with both CNews and BFMTV hitting low points in audience engagement.<\/p>\n

Specifically, CNews ended the weekend with a \u00a01.9% share\u00a0, while BFMTV fell to \u00a02.1%\u00a0, leading to a disappointing Sunday for all news channels in the context of competing sports events like the historic men’s final at Roland-Garros, which drew significant attention away from regular programming.<\/p>\n
