A classic program so far for the first channel.

On the other hand, a fact exceptional enough to be underlined: TF1 does not plan election evening in prime time, from 9 p.m.

, which will be broadcast around 9:20 p.m.

A big election night on France 2

As for the France Télévisions group, France 2 is planning a live broadcast until midnight: access and prime time for the channel will be devoted to the results of this first round.

For this, the two star presenters here too, Laurent Delahousse and Anne-Sophie Lapix, will take the air from 6:25 p.m.

The 8 p.m. news will only last five minutes and will be brought forward to 7:25 p.m.
