Cyril Hanouna's Future with Canal+ Uncertain Amidst C8 Shutdown

Despite Arcom's decision not to renew C8's frequency, Canal+ insists on keeping Hanouna on its platforms, though tensions rise over his potential role in the network's challenges.

  • Canal+ faces internal crisis talks after Arcom's decision to not renew C8's broadcast frequency, affecting shows like 'Touche pas à mon poste' (TPMP) hosted by Cyril Hanouna.
  • Gérald-Brice Viret, Canal+ France's General Director, publicly reaffirmed the company's commitment to Hanouna, denying rumors of an impending separation.
  • The network's management is exploring options to retain Hanouna on other channels within the group, though no definitive plans have been announced.
  • Hanouna is reportedly considered by some within Canal+ as partly responsible for C8's regulatory issues, which include substantial fines due to controversial content.
  • C8 and NRJ12 have filed appeals against Arcom's decision, with the outcome pending a ruling from the French Council of State expected by the end of November.
