C8 (and NRJ12) saw its TNT frequency not be renewed by Arcom. Thus, at the end of February, the Bolloré group channel could no longer be part of the PAF. If Canal+ and the channel's star presenter Cyril Hanouna were outraged by the decision of the audiovisual policeman, there is one presenter who is delighted: Thierry Ardisson. The former presenter of Salut Les Terriensdid not hesitate à take down the PAF troublemaker in his latest interview.
End clap for C8, TPMP and Hanouna
At the end of July, Arcom decided not to renew the TNT frequencies of C8 and NRJ12. These two channels will therefore stop on February 28, 2025. A bolt from the blue for Cyril Hanouna and his show Touche Pas à Mon Poste. The host of TPMP does not admit defeat because at the start of the school year, he announced live that he will file a complaint against Arcom considering that he was the subject of “repeated harassment concerning my work on television and now on the radio“. Hanouna had explained that he had called upon a law firm in charge of filing this complaint with the public prosecutor of the Paris judicial court. The C8 host stated:
I consider myself, and know that we already have a 35-page file, harassed by the Arcom organization which, behind it, generates hateful messages on social networks.”
Arcom's decision concerning C8 delights Thierry Ardisson
If the star of TPMP, protégé of Vincent Bolloré is up in arms against Arcom, the decision of the body makes Thierry Ardisson happy. The former host of Salut Les Terriens on C8, who is currently suing the channel, declared in an interview for TV Mag to be “delighted that C8 is stopping”. And the one nicknamed the Man in Black took a malicious pleasure in trashing Cyril Hanouna.
The least we can say is that Ardisson does not carry the presenter/producer of TPMP in his heart. He even goes so far as to wish him an end to his career:
Nobody will hire him, he's burned out. I think, bro, that you're going to have to settle for Europe.
And to add:
When he tells us that he is a television genius and that the other producers are useless, while the only idea he has ever had is to put a few paid columnists around a table, it is pathetic.
Finally, the one who presented Tout le monde en parle affirms that Hanouna has no political culture. For Ardisson, he is only repeating “what his puppeteer, Bolloré, asks him to say. He is shamelessly spreading propaganda for the National Rally. He is radicalized“.
Suffice to say that it is certainly not tomorrow that Cyril Hanouna will invite Thierry Ardisson on TPMP.
