An hour and a minute is the duration of Edouard Philippe's speech this Tuesday afternoon during the presentation of the government's deconfinement plan before the National Assembly. The Prime Minister's calendar was eagerly awaited by the French, according to the hearings of his intervention in the hemicycle. In total, 13.8 million people connected to their small screen to follow the announcements of Edouard Philippe according to figures transmitted by Médiamétrie.
In detail, TF1 wins the audience battle with 5.71 million people in front of the special edition presented by Gilles Bouleau. It is more than France 2 and its 3.71 million viewers but also that BFMTV, which gathered 2.03 million French people. M6 is relegated to fourth place with 982,000 viewers. The other news channels, meanwhile, are far behind with 583,000 people on LCI, 429,000 on CNEWS and 361,000 on Franceinfo. Between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m., 74.1% of French people in front of their television were connected to the Prime Minister's speech.
Boosted info meetings
Edouard Philippe's announcements made it possible for TV channel information meetings to fill up with viewers. The 20 hours of TF1 and France 2 gathered 8.31 million and 6.31 million people respectively. However, the Prime Minister's speech did not reach the stratospheric audiences for Emmanuel Macron's previous speeches. As a reminder, the third speech of the President of the Republic had been followed in total by 36.73 million viewers, or 94.5% of PDA, on Monday, April 13. It was a historic record.
