The antenna of France 3 was slightly disturbed Monday by a strike of staff of France Televisions who protested against the end of "Evening 3", the iconic nighttime news of the channel, which switched to franceinfo from this week. "Le Soir 3 must remain on France 3, at a fixed time, to remain the unavoidable appointment of a quality information on France televisions", specified the strike notice of the inter-union signed by the CGT, the CFDT, the SNJ, CFE-CGC, UNSA and GSC.
Several newspapers were made in relief after the strike technicians, said the SNJ-CGT. "The employees are in breach with management, it will leave traces," warned Serge Cimino SNJ. "This slice and this newspaper are being sacrificed The objectives set by the presidency at Franceinfo will not be achieved".
Patricia Loison will co-host the slice with Nathanaël de Rincquesen and Céline Bosquet
The last "evening 3" was broadcast Sunday, and must be replaced on Monday by "The 23H". This new night newspaper includes "Franceinfo Soir", the slice of enhanced information broadcast on channel 27 from 21h to midnight, which must attract the night owls fond of info and compete with other channels continuously.
It should resume "more than 80% of the team of Evening 3 of France 3", including the return on the air of the journalist Patricia Loison, who will co-host the slice with Nathanael de Rincquesen (Télématin) and Céline Bosquet.
This change, strongly fought internally, also sparked protests outside France Télévisions, with several petitions (one of which exceeded 5,000 signatures) and the mobilization of some local elected officials and national political leaders. Launched in September 1978, "Soir 3" was presented since 2016 week by Francis Letellier, who will host a show on Europe, and the weekend by Sandrine Aramon.
