While remaining at the helm of RTL's morning show, which he has hosted since 2014, Yves Calvi joined Canal + in September 2017 to reinvigorate the space previously occupied by the Grand Journal, which was the channel's flagship entertainment but whose audiences were in free fall (124,000 viewers on average).

Quotidien
” (TMC) or “
C à vous
” (France 5) which exceeded one million viewers. , or "
Face à l'Info
" (CNews, 700,000 viewers on average).
Before Canal +, Yves Calvi had made a brief stint on LCI from 2016 to 2017, after 15 years at the helm of “
C dans l'air
” on France 5.
