It was a big Saturday, a big podium, but in the end, it’s almost always France 3 and its little Saturday night thriller that wins. Whatever the competition, “Murders in Porquerolles” with Charlie Bruneau, and François Vincentelli, was full of seniors who were not going to be disturbed by a Coupe de France final. With 4.8 million followers and 24.2% audience share, the victory is wide and does not suffer any challenge. The Audience Cup is for Three.
“The Voice” on the 3rd step of the podium
It is for second place that the VAR could almost intervene to decide between silver and bronze. Nantes-Nice, on France 2, with the victory of the Canaries more than twenty years after their last title, wins by nothing over “The Voice”, with 3.440 million football fans (17.7%) against 3.395 million (16.9%) telecrochet fans on TF1. Florent Pagny appeared there for the first time with a bald head due to his chemotherapy.
The strength of these three programs obliges the others to play the utilities. “Bull”, the Saturday evening series on M 6, brings together 1.2 million curious people, 6.1% of viewers present in front of their post, which is not extraordinary. And even “Échappées belles”, the travel magazine of France 5 accustomed to the million, is satisfied for once with 847,000 madmen of escape and 4.3% of audience. It’s fair, but far from a big Saturday night podium. Even if the Canaries let the yellow jersey slip away. Nobody beats the local thriller among those who watch TV that night of the week.
