According to Le Figaro, Laurent Guimier should soon succeed Alexandre Kara at the head of FranceInfo TV. Alexandre Kara should be appointed deputy director of information for the France Télévisions group. Cyril Lignac's show "Tous en cuisine" on M6 stopped this Friday after having marked viewers during the confinement. In Le Figaro, Ara Aprikian announced the arrival of a new daily soap in the fall on TF1. It will be filmed in the Camargue and should be entitled "Ici tout commence".

The media journal begins with a new boss on the side of FranceInfo TV.

Laurent Guimier should soon succeed Alexandre Kara, at least that is what Le Figaro believes, which announces the imminent arrival of the former boss of FranceInfo on the radio side this time. be appointed Deputy Director of Information for the France Télévisions group.  

Less than four years after its launch, the channel 27 news channel will therefore have a different third boss, after Germain Dagognet and therefore Alexandre Kara.

Laurent Guimier directed the radio FranceInfo, the Figaro site, he was vice-president of Europe 1 during the 2018-2019 season and this new job will be his first experience on TV. Its mission is important because the public service news channel is struggling to find its place in front of BFM, LCI and CNews. Unlike its competitors, it has never really benefited from the major crises that hit the country to sustainably boost its audiences, neither that of the Yellow Vests, nor that of the coronavirus.

In May, its audience share was 0.6%, almost three times less than LCI and six times less than BFMTV. It is therefore up to Laurent Guimier to finally try to make FranceInfo TV a benchmark for TV info, a very competitive market.

Places are all the more expensive if one believes a poll, if the French consumed the media a lot during the weeks they spent at home, they did not believe what was happening. said there .

This may well appear to be a strange paradox. TV and news site audiences have never been higher, yet more than half of French people do not really or not trust the media to inform them. This is what emerged from a Yougov survey for The HuffPost site. Only 40% of respondents say they tend to trust the media. There is really nothing to be happy about.

Three TV channels stand out as being those that have best informed the French: BFMTV, TF1 and France 2. Despite this, overall, a third of our fellow citizens say that none of the four continuous news channels inspires their confidence.

Failing to believe what is said on the news channels, part of the French got caught up in the cooking lessons of Cyril Lignac. His show "All in the kitchen" stopped on Friday, it will have marked the sequence of confinement.

It was a Cyril Lignac all moved on Friday who made the antenna for his last of "Tous en cuisine" on M6. This program launched in the space of a few days will have been one of the successes of TV, all channels combined. "Everyone in the kitchen" with Cyril Lignac on M6 quickly won against TF1 in the prime-time access segment before the front page took over thanks to "Who wants to earn millions?". But the Six's program has remained a leader on the commercial target of women responsible for purchases under the age of 50 every night since March 26. A sacred performance! For M6, these audiences have even been records for four years! On the air and in the kitchen, there was of course Cyril Lignac but also Jérôme Anthony.

As we know, one of the strong points of this "Tous en cuisine" was the direct and interaction with the families who cooked at the same time as Cyril Lignac. Du Maritie and Gilbert Carpentier new generation, with perhaps the hope of one day seeing season 2 of this "All in the kitchen". The producer of the show said on this microphone a few weeks ago that one could imagine Cyril Lignac coming back for a little special moments in the year.

Finally, soon a new daily soap opera on TF1.

After "Tomorrow belongs to us", TF1 presents "Here it all begins". It was Ara Aprikian, the boss of the group's programs, who announced it to us this weekend in Le Figaro. And TF1 does not intend to waste time since filming will begin this summer so that the soap can be on the air in the fall when originally “Here it all begins” was scheduled for next January. This acceleration of the calendar is a way for TF1 "to give a strong and rapid signal of recovery".

"Here it all begins" will be filmed in the Camargue, in the south of France, therefore as "Plus belle la vie", "Un si grand soleil" and "Tomorrow belongs to us". 

This new soap should find its place on the TF1 grid just before "Tomorrow belongs to us".
