The time of crises has returned.
President Emmanuel Macron intervened Wednesday evening at 8 p.m. for a 14-minute speech in which he warned the French that “the coming weeks will be difficult”.
In these dark hours of the invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops, more than 21 million French viewers followed the speech of the President of the Republic, representing an audience share of 84%.
On TF1, they were 8.7 million, followed by France 2 with 6.1 million and 2.7 million on the M6 newscast on 1945. TMC and its Quotidien program totaled more than 1 million viewers.
The general-interest channels brought together nearly 18.5 million French people, ie an audience share of 73%.
To this must be added nearly 3 million viewers who watched the four news channels BFMTV, CNEWS, LCI and Franceinfo.
Final audience channel figures will be updated from 11 a.m.
President Emmanuel Macron is thus returning to the level of his interventions during the Covid pandemic.
Three of them had been followed by more than 30 million French people, including 36.7 million for the first of them, on April 13, 2020.
