Overview

• NOVO19 will premiere on Monday, Sept. 1 at 6 p.m. on TNT channel 19.
• Its evening lineup opens with a live news bulletin at 6:10 p.m. followed by the daily 90-minute talk show On a du nouveau! hosted by Claire Arnoux with contributors including Claude Askolovitch.
• Under director Guénaëlle Troly, the Rennes-based channel positions itself as a generalist outlet aiming to reflect a plural France and authentic regional life.
• Daytime slots will feature extensive reruns of previously aired programs, with daily rediffusions at 6 a.m. and 12:35 p.m., alongside a schedule heavy on recycled content.
• Competing against established early-evening shows on France 5, W9 and TMC, media analysts question whether NOVO19’s reliance on reruns will help it attract viewers.
