The first steps of Marie-Sophie Lacarrau on TF1 were followed Monday by 6.4 million, Monday.
Almost one in two viewers in front of their TV at this time.
On France 2, Julian Bugier has set up new meetings and a vaccination red thread has linked all the news of the week.
"With Julian, we were colleagues, we presented shows together, we shared July 14 ... I don't want us to be set up as rivals", declared Marie-Sophie Lacarrau
to 20 Minutes per
month latest.
Even if the two journalists are not at loggerheads, it's hard not to mention the fact that they are in competition.
These are the new figures of the
13 hours
of TF1 and France 2. They took up their post on Monday and
20 Minutes
followed their newspapers to referee this match… friendly?
The hearings
The curiosity effect worked fully for Marie-Sophie Lacarrau.
His first steps on TF1 were followed Monday by 6.4 million people or 45.5% of audience share.
That is to say, nearly one in two viewers present in front of his small screen at that time followed his newscast.
Julian Bugier was watched by 3.4 million people (21% pda).
Tuesday, nearly 3 million faithful were at the rendezvous of the newspaper of France 2 which saw its audience share increase to 21.8%, while the first channel noted the stability of its audience share with 6, 11 million curious.
Wednesday, with an audience substantially identical to that of the day before, Marie-Sophie Lacarrau still gathered some 2.9 million people more than its main competitor.
The tone
On TF1:
"I am not going to dynamite the 13 hours", warned Marie-Sophie Lacarrau in the columns of
20 Minutes
last month.
The journalist has made her mark while being part of the legacy of Jean-Pierre Pernaut.
On Monday, she expressed the “wish” to “weave as quickly as possible” with the public “the bond of complicity and trust” that her predecessor had been able to establish.
However, she did not risk reacting to the subjects broadcast by delivering her rants as Pernaut liked to do.
She mainly relied on the complicity with the televiewers, saying regret not being able to see a film warm in the cinema or joking on the "sacred song of the sailors of the Vendée Globe" rebounding to a cover of
Behind Love
massacred by a navigator at the end of the report.
In short, a smiling tone.

On France 2:
“Miam miam la galette.
Julian Bugier's deregistration after a subject on the tradition of king cakes has already become a meme (a Twitter account is even dedicated to these little comments).
Very comfortable in terms of presentation and interviews on set, Julian Bugier pushes the line a little in terms of proximity and connivance with the viewer.
Very (too?) Smiling, the presenter sometimes takes a sly air in his comments.
He adopts a positive attitude and emphasizes the good news, conversely, he adopts a neutral, almost dreary tone for the most difficult subjects.
We can tell that Julian Bugier wants us to have a good time with him.
The composition of newspapers
On TF1:
Continuity with Jean-Pierre Pernaut obliges, the
13 hours
of Marie-Sophie Lacarrau remains very mainly turned towards the regions.
Monday and Tuesday, the news opened with reports on snowfall, Wednesday, it was L'Epiphanie which was in the spotlight ... The international must be satisfied with a minimal portion.
Monday, the death of French soldiers in Mali was treated from a local angle, in Haguenau (Alsace), city of their regiment.
On Tuesday, five minutes were devoted to the health situation in Great Britain: a duplex with the correspondent in London, a report at the North Station alongside passengers going to or returning from England and an explanation on the shelf on the variant of Covid.
The launch of the vaccination campaign in Belgium was also the subject of a subject.
The only notable exception: Thursday's edition opened with the riots on the Washington Capitol, overrun by pro-Trump protesters the day before.
It is news "which crushes all the others," said Marie-Sophie Lacarrau, stressing, with supporting images, that regional dailies such as
Le Progrès
or
L'Est Républicain
have made it their front page.
One way to justify this departure from the Franco-French prism.
About ten minutes were devoted to these events and their potential consequences.
Apart from that, the menu of the first four newspapers has remained very local, with close-ups of the consequences of the lockdowns on the activity of restaurateurs, hoteliers, booksellers, cinema managers and other traders.
And after twenty minutes of newspaper, the journalist opened each day the page of the "13 Hours of the regions", with more magazine subjects.
The baking specialties of the regions and the daily life of the mountain people were the red threads of the week.
On France 2:
From Monday, Julian Bugier opened his
1 p.m.
with the common thread of his week: the vaccination campaign.
Without wanting to copy the TF1 news (what a horror!), The journalist had announced that his newspaper would be "close to people."
This intention has earned us a multiplication of reports and approaches all over France.
The first part of the journal is devoted to the hot news of the moment, often in depth.
Thursday for example, the riots on the Capitol in the United States occupy more than twelve minutes at the opening of
1 pm
.
Tuesday, a long sequence, with a duplex, is devoted to the reconfinement in England.
On Wednesday, Julian Bugier opens his subject with the layoffs at Michelin and the economic situation of the automotive industry.
Heavy subjects therefore have pride of place.
A press review by Unes de la presse regional daily provides access to the second part of the newspaper, entitled
13 heures en France
.
This is where we discover the new meetings that Julian Bugier had “promised” us (he insists a lot on this notion of “promise” to viewers).
Many subjects on consumption (with the appointment
Behind our labels
) and innovation.
A video game school in Burgundy, a start-up that has created an autonomous dishwasher… "In France, we have ideas" welcomes the presenter all smiles.
These sequences are long and in-depth: more than 5 minutes each time, sometimes with a back-to-back interview.
Julian Bugier gets up from his table to add dynamism to this second part which ends with the soap opera of the week.
A series of five long reports on a theme.
This week, it was about exploring the initiatives of a mountain town which has diversified its tourist offer.
With all that, we will have had only one subject on the weather and one news item in four days.
