There was no Le 6h00 info on France 2 this morning, which appears to be explained when La Matinale on Franceinfo started this morning. The desk area was panelled off from showing the newsroom.

Looks like the new intros are still not done. We've just had a temporary fil-info intro with the new Matinale template go on air at 10am.

TF1 is showing a World Cup qualifier, so can't join in.
