On the menu of the media newspaper this Friday: the Victoires de la musique which take place this Friday are adapting to the Covid-19, the television host Thierry Beccaro arrives on Twitch and the troubles of the BBC in China.
Victoires de la musique without an audience this Friday
The Victoires de la Musique will take place live but without an audience this evening at 9 pm on France 2. Laury Thilleman and our comrade from Europe 1 Stéphane Bern will host it.
Lives, lots of lives ... A great place will be given to live performances, after a year almost without a concert, because of the health crisis.
A situation which led to the deletion of the two categories “stage revelation” and “best concert”.
In their place, two new categories: "female revelation" (Yseult, Clou and Lous and the Yakuzas) and "male revelation" (Hervé, Hatik and Noé Preszow).
Another novelty: a Victory will be awarded to the most streamed title of the year.
This is the only category for which we already know the winner: it is "Do not come back" by Gradur and Heuss the bastard.
With a number of listenings that makes you dizzy: more than 100 million in one year.
Those who also have their place at the Victories are artists like Benjamin Biolay, nominated three times, or Gaël Faye, nominated twice.
No woman has been nominated for the best album of the year.
Les Victoires de la Musique is therefore tonight at 9 p.m. on France 2, live from the musical Seine in Boulogne-Billancourt.
TV host Thierry Beccaro is coming to Twitch
After Samuel Etienne, who is a hit on the live streaming platform, here is Thierry Beccaro.
This is information from the
Parisian
.
The former Motus host will host a live titled “odds and ends”.
We do not know more about the content of this meeting.
It will be every Friday at 7 p.m. with Belgian journalist David Barbet.
He was the one who had the idea.
The first in two weeks, on February 26.
Valentine's Day on France 2 from today
Even this morning.
Les Z'amours - the game that tests the members of a couple on what they know about each other - is broadcasting a somewhat special show for the occasion.
For once, no adults as candidates but adolescents, three couples aged 16 and 18.
It was host Bruno Guillon who had the idea when he took over the show in 2018. Enough to modernize this special Valentine's Day a little.
For him, teenagers have as much their place in the game as adults, in a relationship for years.
Special Valentine's Day Z'amours is this Friday at 11:20 am on France 2.
New changes in the way sports are broadcast on TV
League 2 matches will be broadcast on BeIN Sports.
All matches, exclusively, and from tomorrow, according to
L'Equipe
.
This is the consequence of an agreement reached between the Qatari group and Canal +.
Canal which had recovered the rights to 8 of the 10 league 2 games last week.
BeIN strengthens its offer, Altice lightens it.
Two of the RMC Sport channels will be phased out - March 2.
RMC Sport 3 and RCM Sport 4. The group gave up certain rights (those of basketball, tennis, athletics, in particular).
He wants to refocus on football.
Abroad, China blocks BBC, responds to UK
Beijing bans the BBC, a week after a decision taken by London.
The British government had blocked the Chinese international channel, CGTN.
He believed that the channel is subservient to Chinese power.
China therefore retaliates and accuses the BBC of broadcasting false news, referring to a report on the Uyghur minority, suppressed by the Chinese authorities.
Death of one of the great contemporary pianists
This is Chick Corea, a jazz genius.
His songs like “Spain”, “500 Miles High” or “La Fiesta” have become classics.
It had been revealed in the 60s thanks to his collaboration with Miles Davis.
He had become one of the most influential pianists of the 20th century along with Herbie Hancock and Keith Jarrett.
His work on electric and electronic keyboards made him a pioneer of jazz fusion.
He died of a rare form of cancer last night, a statement said.
He had written a few words before his death, which can be read in this press release: "My mission has always been to bring the joy of creating wherever I could, and to have done this with all the artists that I have. admire so much will have been the wealth of my life. "
