On the front side, he multiplies the escapades on the air.
On the tails, the troublemaker of the PAF Cyril Hanouna endorses the suit of respectable businessmen.
The host and producer of "Touche pas à mon Poste", of which the company H2O Productions has become a subsidiary of the Banijay group, has just been appointed to the supervisory board of the company headed by Stéphane Courbit, said La Lettre de expansion.
In other words, Cyril Hanouna joins the supervisory board of the world's leading independent audiovisual production group.
In October 2019, Banijay signed an agreement to buy 100% of Endemol Shine for 2 billion euros.
Thanks to this operation, the Frenchman was able to get his hands on a vast catalog of entertainment programs such as “The Voice”, “Masterchef” or the famous series
Black Mirror
and
The Fall
.
Programs added to the star brands of Banijay, such as "Fort Boyard", "Koh Lanta" or the shows presented by Nagui and Cyril Hanouna.
The two animators have indeed sold their production company to Banijay.
An operation that allowed each of the two animators to recover cash but also shares of Banijay.
Banijay valued at 3 billion euros
Today, Nagui and Cyril Hanouna therefore find themselves shareholders of a new global production giant generating an annual turnover estimated at around three billion euros for 2019, rich in a catalog comprising the equivalent of 100,000 hours of programs and series.
A giant that could be floated on the stock market from 2023.
