Overview
- Staff across the RMC‑BFM group were evacuated from the 15th arrondissement headquarters after an online warning claimed a device would explode at 3:15 p.m. local time.
- Live programming was cut at 3:19 p.m., taking most of the group’s TV and radio signals off air while RMC Découverte, RMC Story and RMC Life continued with prerecorded schedules.
- Bomb-disposal teams and sniffer dogs carried out checks at the site, and police halted nearby road traffic and tram service during the operation.
- The alert was lifted around 6:00 p.m. after no device was found, employees were told to re-enter the building, and broadcasts resumed.
- Police are investigating the source of the false threat, which follows months of hoax alerts that have prompted precautionary evacuations across France.
