It had been nearly five years since he had tried such an exercise. This Tuesday, at 20:15 p.m., the President of the Republic will answer questions from journalists during a major press conference from the Élysée Palace. If France 3 or M 6 have decided not to upset their schedule, several channels have decided to adapt their programming.
Thus, the channels of the TF1 group will get ready to broadcast to their viewers the speech of the Head of State. But on Monday, the precise arrangements for the first channel had not yet been fully established. Following a shortened 20 Hours with Gilles Bouleau, will the press conference be broadcast in full? Or will Shemar Moore take over with "S.W.A.T." as scheduled at 21:10 p.m.?

All options were on the table. But whatever happens, the public will be able to turn to LCI, the group's non-stop news channel. The latter should indeed broadcast it in its entirety, before giving way to an explanation of the text in the presence of several guests.
Debriefing on France 2 and news channels
If the front page continues to refine its mechanism, France 2 has already planned everything. The public channel will offer the entirety of Emmanuel Macron's exchange with journalists. La Deux will continue with a special edition of "L'Événement" presented by Caroline Roux, to debrief the speech of the Head of State with, once again, guests, journalists and editorialists.
As a result, several deprogramming is to be noted, whether it is the short program "Basic", the daily series "Un si grand soleil" and the evening "France grand format - Food: who benefits from the price increase?".
The public service will also dedicate the evening of Franceinfo to this press conference, with a special edition from 19 p.m. until midnight.
BFMTV, until 1 a.m.
Two of its rivals will go further, starting with BFMTV. Yves Calvi will take the air at the same time as Franceinfo and will keep it until the start of the press conference, in the company of editorialists. Then, at the end of the exchange, and until 1 a.m., Julie Hammett will receive various personalities on her set for an analysis. Among the guests, the public will find journalist Benjamin Duhamel and the head of the political department Neïla Latrous, both present at the Élysée Palace on Tuesday to question the President of the Republic.
Finally, CNews has also planned a set-up, which will begin at 19 p.m. with a special edition of "Face à l'info" with Christine Kelly, who will then give up her chair for about fifteen minutes to Pascal Praud and his "Heure des pros 2". At the end of the conference, the channel will offer a debriefing of the president's speech in "Soir info", and does not rule out spilling over into the early hours of the night.
