Overview

  • C8, the French TV channel hosting 'Touche Pas à Mon Poste' (TPMP), will cease broadcasting on February 28, 2025, after its TNT license was not renewed by Arcom due to repeated regulatory violations.
  • Cyril Hanouna hosted a farewell special for TPMP, featuring former guests, nostalgic highlights, and a promise to announce his future plans.
  • Hanouna has teased four potential paths, including joining M6, moving to CStar, launching his own digital platform, or leaving television entirely to pursue other ventures.
  • The channel faced over €7 million in fines over the years for breaches like discriminatory content, disrespect for personal rights, and misinformation aired on TPMP.
  • C8's closure has sparked polarized reactions, with critics citing its controversies and supporters framing the decision as an attack on free speech.
