This interview on both channels achieved nearly 67% of audience share: two-thirds of the people who were in front of the TV at that time watched it, not counting the continuous news channels.

In total, 6.1 million viewers followed the interview on TF1 (40.6% audience share) and 3.9 million on France 2 (26.2% audience share).

If we focus only on 25-49 year olds, the interview was followed by 1.1 million viewers of this age group on TF1 and 500,000 on France 2.

Before the interview, questions had emerged about Mr. Macron's choice to express himself not in the television news of 20:00 but in that of 13:00, a schedule considered less suitable for young workers primarily concerned by the pension reform.
