Cyril Hanouna's Future Uncertain as C8 Shutdown Looms

Negotiations with Canal+ and M6 intensify while journalists at M6 strongly oppose his potential recruitment.

Cyril Hanouna's current channel, C8, will cease operations on February 28 after losing its broadcasting license due to regulatory issues.
Canal+ is in discussions to retain Hanouna, with potential plans to move his programming to its other channel, CStar, or explore online broadcasting options.
The M6 group has expressed interest in recruiting Hanouna for non-political entertainment programs, though no agreement has been finalized.
Journalists at M6 and RTL have voiced strong opposition to Hanouna's potential recruitment, citing concerns about his controversial history and its impact on the group's reputation.
M6 presenter Karine Le Marchand has publicly stated she would leave the network if Hanouna joins, labeling his potential arrival as ethically troubling.
