French TV - London Lite - 25-05-2021
BFMTV this morning was a bit odd with the scheduling of two weather forecasts within a minute of each other, the pre-recorded forecast during the overnight bulletin, then straight into Première Edition with a live forecast a minute later.

The person who presents the midnight bulletin live stays in the building, so they can go on live if required. Even though the channels are on a loop overnight, there's still people in the newsroom news gathering, along with people preparing for the morning shows.

Would actually not be the person who does the midnight bulletin as they also do the (or used to do?) the 19:00 bulletin. Either the 4:30/6:00 shift starts early or the 22:00/00:00 is extended.
It's quite rare though for anything major to happen between 00:30 and 4:30. Usually if there's a planned event they'll extend the 22:00/00:00 as needed.

https://www.lefigaro.fr/medias/guillaume-dubois-nomme-directeur-de-l-antenne-de-lci-20210526 Guillaume Dubois, former director of BFM TV has become the director of LCI. Given that all of this former BFM TV personnel has recently joined LCI, I am wondering if the management of TF1 Group is considering refocusing LCI into a hard news format

They are limited by their CSA Convention regarding the number of hard-news hours they can produce a day unfortunately. Not sure if it could be renegotiated but they could potentially argue that CNEWS is no longer a hard news channel and that therefore they can take their place (the limit on hard news was put into place after concerns by BFMTV that there would be too many hard news channels once LCI made the leap into free-to-view TV).

In fact there are many aspects of French TV regulation that I still don't really understand, like the one about simulcasts between channels, why Le 6h info is not simulcasted on France Info as well as France 2? Also why don't French TV channels simulcast their news channels in the overnight hours just like BBC One does with BBC News 24 over here?Roger Darthwell post_id=15461 time=1622305575 user_id=1160 Wrote:I am wondering if the management of TF1 Group is considering refocusing LCI into a hard news format

Another issue with the tv version of Franceinfo this morning when the breaking news came in about a gunman who fired at police officers in the Dordogne, they started to go with breaking news, but then had to take the 8.30 radio programme instead, so for 30 mins, they had to take that and then finally went into full breaking news mode at 9am.

Never knew that France Info TV has the obligations to take simulcasts of radio programmes as well

As part of the 100 years of radio celebrations in France, Franceinfo gave viewers a look into the tv studio and gallery at Radio France used for the simulcast Franceinfo radio and tv bulletins.

What a coincidence that France started radio broadcasting the same year as the UK (it's the BBC's 100th anniversary this year as well!)

Looks like France24 have just changed not only their weather graphics but the iconic theme too. I haven't found a video of it yet but the channel is streamed on Youtube and the weather is broadcast at the end of every half hour in case someone wants to record it.
The newsbar has also become wider but some of the on screen elements have not been modified to match them yet. Also some changes to split screens.
