• Denis Brogniart will be there, the totem too, but there will be something different during this 

    Koh-Lanta season

     : his broadcast day.

  • For the second time in its history, the TF1 adventure game is broadcast on Tuesday evening.

  • But why did the show say goodbye to its sacrosanct Friday hut?

"Why? ! Why be so corrupt? No honor! No dignity! The cult phrase of Moundir, uttered during the

Return of the heroes

in 2009, may have left the mouths of many viewers after discovering that

The legend

, the new edition of

Koh-Lanta

, would not be broadcast Friday night. This is the first surprise of this season which celebrates the 20th anniversary of TF1's adventure game: for the second time in its history, you will have to book your Tuesday evening.

But then why drop the sacrosanct Friday night hut, which launched the weekend perfectly for the public?

The reason can be counted on the fingers of one hand: TF1 has too many programs to broadcast.

Between the new seasons of

The Voice

,

Mask Singer

,

Ninja Warrior

,

District Z

and

Dancing with the Stars

, a choice had to be made.

The chain therefore preferred to open on Tuesday evening to its most powerful program because of this very busy return to school, "the largest for ten years" testifies the group to our colleagues at

HuffPost

.

A first refusal before the great upheaval

At the microphone of Europe 1, producer Alexia Laroche-Joubert confided that she initially refused to change the broadcast day when TF1 made this proposal to her.

"I told them that if there was one show that could face a change of box, it was this anniversary series," she said of

The Legend

.

With this upheaval in public habits, the production and the channel hope not to disturb their loyal viewers too much.

Above all, the two audiovisual mastodons hope to win new fans.

“At the end of the day, there are more people in the Tuesday box than in the Friday box.

There are more young people there, ”added Alexia Laroche-Joubert.

"It was done knowingly"

Denis Brogniart, too, justified this development. "On Friday, some will be able to go out and will be able to watch on Tuesday," the host explained on RMC, thinking of the revelers of the weekend. We will see what it will give, but it was done knowingly with studies that were carried out to realize what

Koh-Lanta

can give

on Tuesday. "

Behind all this, we must not forget the figures.

TF1 probably remembers very well that

The Return of the Heroes

, the only season previously broadcast on Tuesday evening, achieved the best audience scores for the program.

In 2009, 8.3 million people connected to the channel to follow the adventures of Christelle, Clémence and Jade.

All three will be back on Tuesday to celebrate the 20 years of the game. With the same audience at stake?

Television

By choosing only heroes, are the dice of the “Koh-Lanta: The legend” strategy loaded?
