The French were there.
This Wednesday, October 14, Emmanuel Macron answered questions from Anne-Sophie Lapix and Gilles Bouleau on TF1 and France 2. From 7:55 p.m. to 8:39 p.m., the interview with the President of the Republic gathered nearly 21 million viewers.
In detail, TF1 won the audience match with 11.89 million people connected to the channel.
On the other hand, 9.03 million French people preferred France 2 to follow the announcements of Emmanuel Macron.
In total, 70.7% of the public present in front of his station was connected to one of the two channels.
This score does not take into account the figures of the four 24-hour news channels, which also offered this intervention.
During these 44 minutes of interview, Emmanuel Macron notably announced a curfew in Ile-de-France and in eight metropolises: Grenoble, Lille, Aix-Marseille, Lyon, Montpellier, Saint-Etienne, Toulouse and Rouen.
This interview does not break the record for the speech by the Head of State broadcast on Monday, April 13, followed by 36.7 million people.
