BFM Paris simulcasted BFMTV briefly for about 20 minutes before starting their on coverage (at the usual time their in-vision evening slot usually starts). I do wonder how breaking news is handled given how the regional channels all use what they like to call 'presentation autonome' in which the presenter does a lot of the work the gallery usually would do. Works fine when it's more or less scripted, but with breaking news I really do wonder how they manage it.

LCI also had good coverage, taking a break from Ukraine briefly.

Funnily enough, the local audiovisual/TV pres fans in France wouldn't consider the current state of TV/radio simulcasts on franceinfo in their current state a success at all after they've been continually scaled down. There is allegedly some friction between TV and radio which has led to a downscaling of simulcasts and joint coverage.

I remember when Radio would provide news headlines at x10, x20, x40 and x50 during tv bulletins. These now only happen during full radio simulcast shows such as the 8.30 interview and Les informés.

I think it was you that mentioned that there are plans for Franceinfo TV to simulcast the morning radio show from 5h-7h later this year leaving the tv edition of the morning show from 7h-8h30 (or 8h33 to be exact!)

The French pres enthuasists clearly have higher standards than us!
