An update on Project Tempo, the rebuilding of France 3's news offerings. The France Télévisions' arm of the Force Ouvrière union published a document with a much better look at what might become the definitive plans for the relaunched broadcasts. The biggest thing: the 12/13 and 19/20 brands will be retained, although tweaked as Ici 12/13 and Ici 19/20; the 2019 graphics are also staying, also tweaked.
For the 12/13 slot, it would be reduced to a half-hour, but eventually staying with its hybrid local/national format: a first block would serve as a headline update, followed by Le Journal des Solutions (the existing 18.30 programme) and then the longer composite broadcast. The Sunday Ici 12/13 will have a reduced duration due to Dimanche en politique. The 19/20 will become a fully regional slot: after a headline update, the local editions (formerly 12/13 Proximité) would air and then the main broadcast.
Here's the full document (in French). It also dives deeper on how France 3 plans to outsource national news coverage from Franceinfo, and how technical and editorial positions would be reorganised.
