“
Long live you!”
» On August 26, 2013, Jean-Luc Reichmann generously named the very first issue of “Buzz TV”.
At the time, the show was the successor to “Buzz Média” and consisted of a short, one-on-one interview.
“
We wanted to create a daily event in which we could receive personalities known to viewers.
We were going a little into the unknown but the show immediately met its audience because something often happened there
,” explains Nicolas Vollaire who presented it at that time alternating with Philippe Larroque, then director from the editorial staff of TV Magazine.

TV tonight: our selection of the day
First recorded, the show was broadcast live for a time, on Facebook or on YouTube, and welcomed questions from Internet users for the guests.
From the fifth season, in September 2017, “Buzz TV” was expanded with two journalists on set and was enriched with new sections.
“
With this co-animation, we found a better rhythm and greater dynamism
,” believes Nicolas Vollaire.
Among the audience records, Michel Drucker's response to Delphine Ernotte in January 2016 on the latter's desire to rejuvenate the channel, Anny Duperey's rant against the government in November 2017 on the Levothyrox scandal, the outstretched hand of Cyril Hanouna to Yann Barthès in September 2018, or the revelations of Patrick Sébastien about his kidney cancer in September 2022.
Viral sequences
Both presenter and responsible for programming, Damien Canivez puts forward several arguments to convince his guests.
“
That of journalistic expertise, a smile and a certain kindness.
But also that of the audience with our broadcast on the Figaro website, the Le Figaro TV Île-de-France channel and all of our social networks
,” he explains.
The choice falls on the personalities who are linked to TV news.
Hosts, producers, game candidates, influencers and even actors, singers, chefs and politicians have followed one another.
“
Being in the “Buzz” is the assurance of being seen and heard,” emphasizes Damien Canivez.
The show is in the news.
It is also taken up almost every day by our colleagues.
It is not uncommon for an issue to reach several hundred thousand views.

For two and a half seasons, the broadcast of the show has been supported by promotion of the best extracts on TV Magazine's social networks.
“Some strong sequences go viral.
And this brings in their wake the broadcast of the entire program, it’s a virtuous circle,” testifies journalist Sarah Lecoeuvre.
“We try to stand out through the quality of our programming and the relevance of our questions.
Something must emerge from each program, a good interview delivers at least one piece of information or a statement likely to appeal to people,” explains the journalist and co-host of this meeting.
In addition to questions relating to the guest's current affairs, "Buzz TV" has been expanded with sections such as "Media News", "Sweet / Savory" or "Next".
Interludes which are not there to destabilize the guests but to take them out of their promotional speech.
A warm show
“
It’s one of the programs that works best on Le Figaro TV Île-de-France.
A warm, rhythmic and dynamic program, which makes a point of treating media information seriously
,” rejoices Barbara Christen, editor-in-chief of the channel.
Before concluding: “We would also like to expand this meeting which currently only lasts 26 minutes.
