Speaking of BFM TV, their live coverage yesterday of the failed Early Day Motion caused the channel's prime time programming (20h30-00h) to be dropped for the day to air a live special, Retraites : la tempète (which also serves as moniker for their special coverage), presented by Aurélie Casse and Maxime Switek. The show aired from the Première Édition/BFM Politique studio, with a live studio audience and analysis from the channel's political panelists, plus interviews with Parliament MPs and live shots from reporters on the scene of protests.

Back to news-related schedule changes, TF1 and France 2 have agreed to team up for an urgent interview with President Macron on the pensions reform; the interview will air during the 13h news tomorrow, with their respective anchors helming the interview.

The decision to place the interview during the 13h broadcast has been criticised by LCI panelist Jean-Michel Aphatie, claiming that it should have been placed during the 20h news, given the seriousness of the ongoing situation; he also chastised the decision of placing Marie-Sophie Lacarrau and Julian Bugier as interviewers:

Now to other news, as Catherine Nayl, who served as TF1's news and current affairs director, and had recently occupied a similar post over at France Inter, is retiring from the industry after 38 years (most of them with TF1).

BFMTV's special program extended till 00:30 with Thomas Joubert (who has been replacing Rachid M'Barki ever since he was suspended then fired) with Le Journal de la Nuit thereafter. Aside from having a live studio audience, it wasn't very much different to what the channel would have otherwise aired tonight in terms of content. I do wish the big studio were used more often though, was nice to see.
The choice of a 1pm broadcast hasn't only come under fire by Apathie. Various Elysee sources claimed that the timing chosen was to cater to those who live out of Paris. Apparently those at the Elysee still think that people outside of Paris go home for lunch. The 'lazy south' reason attracted much mockery on social media once revealed.
Somewhat related, someone asked on the Le Monde's liveblog what the average age of 13h newscast viewers were:
- 59.1 in 2023 for TF1 (58.5 in 2022)
- 63.3 in 2023 for France 2 (62.5 in 2022)
So essentially on average people past retirement age and not directly affected by the bulk of the changes in the pension reform plan.

France Télévisions' news output is once again affected due to the pension reform strikes now being more frequent. Today, France 2's newscasts are coming for the more complex chroma key studio used normally by France 3 during industrial action, instead of the
cagibi or their main studio with reduced production values. Some regional newscasts have been aired in a VoiceOver format, whilst others were replaced by a newscast from a neighbouring region or the satellite Édition Toutes Régions. France 2's Télématin wasn't broadcast live today too, with a repeat edition from last month (instead of an emergency tape) airing instead.
Still on strike-related matters, BFM TV went all-in with live shots and extended coverage of the protests. However, given the protests are increasingly becoming violent, the channel took the decision of not disclosing the name and exact placement of the reporter, as well as not showing it camera. This has been done to protect the wellness of them and decrease the risk of being attacked by protesters.

Today was Marc-Olivier Fogiel's audition, and he made it clear: BFM TV was a victim of the very complex Team Jorge disinformation network, and praising the channel's journalists, whose work was badly hit by the scandal.

Sticking with the fall-out from this, RMC Story has announced M'Barki's replacement on
Faites entrer l'accusé:
Première Édition anchor Christophe Delay. He will still co-host with the show's longtime expert Dominique Rizet. The show's new season is already filming with him, and these new episodes will debut in September.

Franceinfo surprisingly managed to get out their morning show live this morning which saw the return of Samuel Etienne who's been off the bulletin for the last few weeks. Complete with steady cam.
It was only after 8.30 that it was obvious that the channel was affected by industrial action by looping the 8am-8.30 block of news for the back half hour.
L'info s'eclaire went out as normal at 9am, then a mix of the loop of news and the occasional live segment from the studio. Votre instant politique is the first full live programme from the studio since 10am.

This has been happening for several protests already whenever things get violent... leading to situations where the presenters aren't aware that a decision has been made for the reporters to go anonymous and still thanking them by name.
If you spend some time in front of BFMTV you can see the different security tiers they use:
1. reporter on camera and live, often crossing to protesters for interviews
2. reporter named and camera live but reporter out of shot
3. anonymised reporter and camera live but reporter out of shot
4. anonymised reporter and live footage but not where the reporter is
This practice (at least the first 3 tiers, 4th one seems new) started with the Gilets Jaunes protests and has unfortunately become increasingly necessary. Whilst attacks by black blocs have been quite common for a number of years, attacks on journalists by police have also increased significantly as of late.

BFMTV have relaunched their Journal de la Nuit on weekends. Looks like it's a permanent change though it might be linked to the ongoing protests. The Journal de la Nuit was scrapped from the 2020 rentrée with Weekend Direct being replayed until 6am. Gilane Barret was the previous host and he also hosted the news bulletins in the evenings on weekends but that was also scrapped at the 2020 rentrée with him subsequently leaving the channel for a contributor role at CNEWS on Morandini's show if I recall correctly. During the first lockdown linked to the pandemic, le Journal de la Nuit was scrapped all week with the 22h/00h show being replayed until 6am, a measure which very likely paved the way for the weekend Journal de la Nuit to be scrapped.

France 3's journalist union has published a letter condemning how France Televisions's newscasts have focused on small pockets of violence and destruction rather than the overwhelmingly peaceful nature of the huge numbers of protesters which protested last Thursday. It also notes the lack of coverage of police brutality.

Franceinfo tv output has been on and off again. The first live programme was the radio simulcast of 8.30 Franceinfo along with Les Informés. (News updates during simulcasts were from the combined tv/radio studio rather than from the studio used for headlines).
The first programme from the tv studio was Midi politique at noon which was repeated at 1pm. Back to the loop of updated news currently.
