Music versus cinema. Voice versus image. TF 1 planned to create the event this Saturday evening, May 27, with the semi-final of "The Voice" live. The channel next door, France 2, broadcast the closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival, which awarded its palm to the French Justine Triet for her film "Anatomy of a Fall". And the winner is... The Croisette. Admittedly, the two programs did not start at quite the same time and did not have the same duration. But, if we compare the beginning of the evening, it is the closing ceremony that gathered more than 3.16 million viewers until 21:30 or 20% of the public.
Behind, "The Voice" is then neck and neck with "Murders in... ». France 3 regularly tops the ratings on Saturday nights. This time his police investigation which took place at Mont Saint-Michel with, starring, Anthony Delon was styled on the pole by the telecrochet of the One: 3.04 million viewers for the first, which welcomed with great emotion Florent Pagny back on the set to everyone's surprise, 3.01 for the second, i.e. less than 30,000 people difference between the two and an almost similar audience share: 18.4% for "The Voice", and 18.5% for "Murders at".
Unwearable "Columbo"
Once the closing ceremony ended on France 2, the musical evening "Cannes chante le cinéma" had to settle for fourth place with just under 1.2 million viewers or 7.6% of the public. The event is preceded by "NCIS", the police series of M 6 which still attracts more than 1.3 million faithful and 8.1% of fans of police intrigues. A little further, "Échappées belles", on France 5, retains 821,000 faithful and 5% of viewers embarked in Australia "on the road to the ocean".
Note the nice score of the unwearable "Columbo" on TMC. The mythical investigator played by Peter Falk remains a safe bet with his 676,000 fans or 4.2% of people in front of their TV Saturday night.
