BFMTV and LCI reverted to live programming earlier than usual to cover the US Presidential debate from Atlanta.

BFMTV was on-air at 0230 CET with presenter led analysis, while LCI went on-air at 0300 CET taking the CNN clean feed for the debate with a French translator off-screen.

Franceinfo stayed with the France 24 simulcast which didn't take the debate, instead using clips during the usual news bulletins, while CNEWS stayed with their pre-recorded loop of the midnight news bulletin.

France 2 instead simulcast the debate, with Anne Sophie Lapix fronting the special coverage I believe.

LCI indeed didn't have any pre-debate coverage and analysis unlike BFMTV with Thomas Joubert but they did have post-debate analysis from 4:30am ish onwards bridging into the usual breakfast show.

Patricia Loison and Alexandra Uzan have been announced as the presenters of Sunday night's first round of the legislative election on Franceinfo.

BFMTV is doing the same as their European Election coverage: Apolline de Malherbe and Maxime Switek from 6pm till 10pm with Benjamin Duhamel taking over then.

LCI has Thomas Misrachi and Marie-Aline Meliyi starting off coverage from 4:45pm with Amelie Carrouer and Jean-Baptiste Boursier taking over at some point for the results at 8pm followed by Darius Rochebin (same as 3 weeks ago!).

TF1's special coverage starts at 7:30pm with Gilles Bouleau and Anne-Claire Coudray as always.

Meanwhile, France 24's coverage is being done in partnership with LCP in what seems to be the latter's studio.
