France Télévisions is having a press conference currently, and with some SVG articles, we have new details on the editorial and programming offer from the PSB:
A major and surprise programming change has been announced: France 4 won’t air overflow coverage at all during the event. That task will be assigned to France 5, whose regular schedule will be displaced by live coverage when France 2 and France 3 are airing news or religious programming, the first time it has aired any sports programming. This means France 4 will be on its regular Okoo/Culturebox guise through the Games. The overseas La Première network will also simulcast France 2’s coverage, but with a special magazine programme designed for the network. France 2 and France 3 will be on-air from 9:30 to 23h00 during the Games, with F2 airing its evening magazine at 23h00. Both channels will air curated repeats overnights.
The presenting team alternating between both stations is led by Cécile Grès, Matthieu Lartot, Laurent Luyat, Marianne Théoleyre, Jean-Baptiste Marteau, Inès Lagdiri-Nastasi, Cédric Beaudeau and Céline Rousseaux. France 2’s newscasts will have its regular presenters in line for the games, Julian Bugier and Anne-Sophie Lapix on weekdays, and Laurent Delahousse and Leïla Kaddour on weekends. Télématin will presented by Thomas Sotto and Louise Ekland (filling in for Marie Portolano) on weekdays, and Damien Thévenot and Maya Lauqué on weekends. The evening magazine, Quels Jeux ! (a special edition of the Saturday polemical Quelle époque !) will be presented by Léa Salamé and Laurent Luyat.

Franceinfo will also air a special schedule through the Games: after a special edition of La Matinale with Matthieu Belliard (weekdays) and Djamel Mazi (weekends) and the 8h30 interview, the special Les Informés edition simulcast on Franceinfo Radio will air. From 9h30 up until 18h00, rolling Olympic news bulletins will be on-air, and, from 18h, Patrice Rodemenne and Louis Laforge, with Christophe Gascard and Lucie Chaumette (newsreaders) will alternate to present Le Club Franceinfo from the Grand Halle de la Villette studio, mixing interviews and highlights of the day.

The team at the Games will be made of 65 expert commentators and 80-90 reporters, of which 40 will be covering events on the ground. Half will be made by reporters from the FTV newsroom, and the other half by reporters from France 3’s regional stations. Additionally, teams will be equipped with 4G equipment for special segments featuring voxpops from volunteers and spectators; around 5 to 7 of these reports will air per day. All images generated by the news teams will be fully centralised and distributed through France 3’s content distribution network Info Vidéo 3 to all of the production teams producing content during the event, including the news programmes. Further help has been required in the process, with calls for reinforcements on the editorial and technical departments coming mostly also from France 3’s regional teams. 10 videographer teams in the regional football sites, plus 8 technical posts and 5 coordinating teams are also in line, plus FTV’s OB units from Toulouse and Strasbourg. In total, nearly 600 staffers for the Olympic team have been accredited.
As for the expert commentators, these will be distributed by discipline rather than by sport: for example, for fencing, there will be a commentator for each discipline: one for foil, one for épée and one for sabre. There will be nearly strict parity in the number of commentators: 33 will be women and 32 will be men. All of the commentary will be made on-site from the venues. Some of the star commentators include Tony Parker (basketball), Laure Manaudou (swimming), Marie-José Pérec (fencing), Sami El Gueddari (swimming) and Brahim Asloum (boxing).
As for the production of channels, France 2 will use two UHD OB units for production: UM1 will serve as a MCR unit, located at France Télévisions’ HQ, with UM3 parked near the Musée de l’Homme, and will serve as a production gallery for the production of the live schedule. France 3 will be limited to HD (their UHD feed will be upscaled), with live production done from one of FTV’s existing galleries at their HQ, which will be connected to a remote unit and the Grande Halle studio.
As for France.tv Paris 2024, their studio will be located at their HQ, in a temporary glassbox and sofa space at their main atrium space, as part of their emphasis on a "Fan Zone" interactive format in the style of Twitch streams, featuring a live chat. Additionally, cross-flexing in schedules will be used in the case of schedule conflicts, or even if a French is in the possibility of medals, promoted to one of the main linear networks. Influencers Rivenzi and Zack Nani, former professional tennist Alizé Lim and sports blogger Manon Lanza will be the daily presenters of the digital streaming network.
