On the other hand, “
Masterchef
” is more of a failure.
The show relaunched last August with Agathe Lecaron at the presentation will not return.
Only 1.4 million people and 8% followed this new version.
“
The show was not a failure because it allowed us to rejuvenate our audience
, nuance Anne Holmes.
On programs of this type, perhaps we should cultivate more proximity and transmission rather than the “competition” side.
We will in any case continue to work on this theme of cooking on our channels.
“, she promises again.
Another show was a big disappointment.
"
Yesterday, today, tomorrow
", produced by Thierry Ardisson and presented by Laurent Ruquier.
Only 1.1 million curious people counted for the premiere on November 15 in the first part of the evening, or 6.2% of the public.
“
The show has not found its audience and should not return to the air
, admits the boss.
The promise was probably insufficiently clear for the viewer
,” she continues, while emphasizing that Laurent Ruquier “is
already working on another format
”.
"
It's the same project as 'Everything makes us sing
'
(in which comedians sing songs related to current events), but the concept has evolved a bit
“, she says again.
Thierry Ardisson can be satisfied.
“Hôtel du temps”, a program in which he questions deceased personalities, will return despite the low audiences for the first issue with Dalida on May 2 (1.4 million viewers and 6.8% of PDA).
“
With a new number on Coluche
, specifies Anne Holmes.
If the premiere was not a hit with the audience, the show is in any case a real original concept and is exported well abroad
, ”she adds.
