During Euro 2021, the fight does not only take place on the lawn.
Internally, the audience match is raging between the television channels.
In this little game, M6 came out victorious on Friday night.
The channel broadcast the quarter-final between Belgium and Italy and was able to count on 5.99 million people, or 30.5% of market share according to Médiamétrie figures communicated by
Puremédias
.
TF1, for its part, did not have the chance to see its match scheduled for 9 p.m., a time of day when there are more people in front of its post.
However, the channel recorded a very good score for Switzerland-Spain, offered from 6 p.m., in particular thanks to a suspense that stretched until the penalty shoot-out.
4.60 million viewers, or 21.8% audience share, watched this quarter-final.
For the news, there is no match
If no one was to be serene on the grounds of the Saint Petersburg stadium, it was probably the same in the corridors of the TF1 tower. Due to the extension of Switzerland-Spain, Anne-Claire Coudray was only able to present a very shortened version of her television news. Lasting only seven minutes, the evening's express news was still followed by 4.99 million followers, or 26.4% of the market share.
The round ball is not for everyone.
Those who wanted to receive their daily dose of information therefore returned to France 2. The
20 Hours
of Laurent Delahousse, it took place under normal conditions and filled with audiences.
4.80 million people, or 26% of the public, preferred to watch the news on the public service channel.
A score up 300,000 people compared to the previous day.
