The marriage of the TF1 group with M6 and RTL radio makes the headlines in the media.

TF1 would become the main shareholder for the modest sum of 641 million euros.

TF1 and M6 will already be associated this Tuesday evening to broadcast an announcement awaited by football fans, the selection of players for the Euro football.

Didier Deschamps will then answer questions from two journalists, Marie Portolano and Nathalie Iannetta.

Nathalie Renoux and Julien Courbet will present “Appel à Témoins” before the summer on M6, while Camille Combal and Yoann Riou will present the “Marble Mania” marbles competition on TF1.

The show hosted by Philippe Lacheau "Lol, qui rit sort" will have the right to a season 2 on Amazon Prime Video.

In the News, a revolution in the world of French media. 

The marriage of the TF1 group with M6 and RTL radio. Since February, Bertelsmann had put M6 and RTL radio on sale. Among the candidates Vivendi, Mediaset, Daniel Kretinsky Xavier Niel and the TF1 group (owned by Bouygues). Group that Bertelsmann preferred to enter into exclusive negotiations. A choice that is not really a surprise.

TF1 was the favorite of German Bertelsmann.

With a subtlety in the end: it would not be quite a buyout, but rather a merger.

It is therefore a new group bringing together TF1 and M6 that would be created.

Of which Bouygues (TF1) would take 30%.

30% instead of the 48% of M6 owned by Bertelsmann.

German therefore remains in the capital.

But it is indeed TF1 which would become the main shareholder for the modest sum of 641 million euros.

At the head of this new giant of the paf?

Nicolas de Tavernost, the current boss of M6.

Gilles Pélisson, CEO of TF1 would remain in the Bouygues group and would become deputy managing director in charge of media and development. 

This merger announcement rather than a takeover allows the two groups to put more chances on their side, facing the competition authority. 

Yes because it is not yet won for this new set.

First obstacle: TF1 and M6 have nine free TNT channels.

The law forbids a group to own more than seven. There, two options for the future together: either it withdraws some of its chains, or it sells them.

Second obstacle: hegemony in the advertising market.

By merging, TF1 and M6 would control 70%.

A monopoly situation that worries advertisers. 

The time is for mergers, for concentration, in the media.

With a new example in the United States, Warner Media and Discovery announced their union, this Monday, again, to compete with major platforms like Netflix, Disney + and Amazon.

TF1 and M6 will already be associated this Tuesday evening to broadcast an announcement expected by football fans. 

That of the list of 26 French players selected to play the Euro which will begin in a little less than a month, from June 11.

It will be given by Didier Deschamps, at 8:20 p.m.

The coach will then be interviewed by two journalists, Marie Portolano recently arrived on M6 and Nathalie Iannetta from TF1.

A short interview of about 10 minutes in which he will explain his choices which should come without much surprise, according to Nathalie Ianetta.

These questions, Nathalie Iannetta will ask them with Marie Portolano, two women sports journalists.

It is rare enough to be underlined, in a still very masculine environment and regularly denounced in recent months for its sexism.

We asked Nathalie Iannetta if this was a sign of progress.

Nathalie Iannetta who will co-interview Didier Deschamps with Marie Portolano this evening at 8:20 pm just after the announcement of the Blues selected for the Euro.

A competition which will be broadcast on TF1, M6 and BeIn sports.

Two duets for two new television shows broadcast on TF1 and M6. 

The first is Nathalie Renoux and Julien Courbet.

They are the ones who will present “Appel à Témoins” before the summer on M6.

A program that will attempt to collect, live, new information on cases (crimes, disappearances) that have not yet been resolved. 

The second duo will be composed of Camille Combal and Yoann Riou for “Marble Mania”, a marbles competition that will be broadcast by TF1 and whose filming is underway.

Camille Combal will host the show, Yoann Riou will comment on the events, he who is used to commenting on football matches with ardor on the L'Equipe channel.

But we have already seen it on TF1 since he had participated in the show “Danse Avec Les Stars”, two years ago. 

Change in the air at C à Vous, starting tomorrow. 

A return to the origins, well almost.

The guests of the second part of the show will once again be able to dine, after a seven-month hiatus due to the Covid.

From tomorrow, therefore, the day of the reopening of the terraces.

It is on a terrace besides, glued against the studio of the show that this dinner will take place - well, if the weather permits.

In case of rain, the whole team and the guests will return to the usual set. 

Amazon Prime Video Announces Sequel To 'Lol, Who Laughs Comes Out'

The show hosted by Philippe Lacheau will have the right to a season 2, it works well. It would be the most viewed program of the year on Prime Video, without the platform giving any figures, however. It was on her Twitter account that she announced this sequel. While asking his followers, which personalities they would like to see play. The concept: 10 comedians are locked together for six hours, they must all try to make their comrades laugh, without laughing themselves. Those who laugh come out.
