But it is not the legal character or not of the company which is questioned by the CSA.
The audiovisual regulator denounces the very promotion of a company in the show.
For the CSA, this astonishing form of advertising, right in the middle of the program and through the voice of its host, is a violation of the sponsorship rules.
Not the first sanction against C8
C8's formal notice is not the first sanction taken by the CSA against the Canal + group channel.
In 2017, the CSA deprived C8 of advertising because of a homophobic "hoax" broadcast in
Touche pas à mon poste,
the most striking sanction taken against the channel.
Files for sexism, insults and sexual assault have accumulated over the years against Cyril Hanouna's broadcasts.
A next sanction could be formulated by the CSA against C8.
The regulator opened a new file in April 2020, after the dissemination of a false map supposed to give the dates for the lifting of the first confinement by regions, in the midst of the first wave of Covid-19.
