Mr. Pigasse produces public service programs like C à vous and C politique and that doesn't shock anyone? Mr. Pigasse has a media empire with Le Monde, Libération, Huffington Post, Télérama... and complains about Boloré's presence in the media. That doesn't shock anyone? It does. Translate to English
The left, a long time ago, said: "it is forbidden to forbid"...but that was a long time ago... Where is the CGT and the other unions that should normally be fighting against the unemployment of several hundred workers? Translate to English
They wanted to destroy C Hanouna and Bolloré! They are giving them invaluable publicity. Whoever wants to destroy C Hanouna has not yet been born, he will bounce back very quickly and go towards an incredible destiny. We call that talent, intuition, strength. Full support to C Hanouna and all his collaborators who find themselves unemployed while this channel was at the top. Translate to English
Why not broadcast the channels live on YouTube or other platforms of the kind. It will obviously be necessary to find some form of monetization to be able to have funding. And also probably put the administrative headquarters in Switzerland so that it is no longer subject to corrupt French legislation. Best regards! We must reinvent television by broadcasting from online platforms. Translate to English
It's not the TV channels that are missing, everyone has their own channel Then to listen to always hear the same news According to certain well-informed media The majority of French people are against the public service that hires others Translate to English
If Hanouna was out of line, it was TPMP that should have been stopped, not the channel. William at noon for example was a decent show... I don't understand. Other shows suffer from TPMP's excesses... it's not normal! Translate to English
We should no longer talk about a battle of ideas and opinions since only one has the right to express itself, so this is indoctrination. Translate to English
Why don't we close ARCOM, since a majority of French people support freedom of expression (I'm not talking about C8) and that would save us money, since we've been looking for some for a long time. Translate to English
It's not even the full attempt to understand these mistakes c... the state of our democracy is really scary, I don't know how we're going to get out of this Translate to English
What is funny is the typical double movement of the French administration: on the one hand, freedom of expression is being reduced, a continuous movement from left to right since 1981, and on the other hand, we are depriving ourselves of significant revenues since C8 was the most taxed channel on TNT with huge fines paid regularly. A little common sense would have led to continuing to collect this revenue while maintaining the plurality offered by the channel in a rather sluggish landscape of French audiovisual. Translate to English
Far LEFT = "that's not great"... but... "Esstrem' drouat'....= BOOH..!!... IT causes "TONICO-CLONIC" reactions!!!so stupid when they just ask for an explanation on a subject and hope to have an answer..! Translate to English
Great news, L'arcom had warned... there is no misunderstanding, no silence because it is a strong sign! Respect for pluralism, conservatives are everywhere and viruses for media freedom.... but Europe you teach Bolloré. no frequency so as not to put nauseating ideas.... so yes, they will recycle themselves and maybe they will no longer have comments from the extreme right! Translate to English
We are fed up with all these people who want to shut everything down and muzzle others... only the truth is disturbing... watch out for the backlash... it is time to clean up this ship that is sinking more and more... Translate to English
Yes... we are walking on our heads, ARCOM did not close C8, it is Bolloré who is closing his channel... why not transfer it to the Canal group's airwaves? Translate to English
Hanouna should have stayed in entertainment and not talked about politics, an area he does not know. If 400 people lose their jobs, Hanouna is the only one responsible. And I sincerely sympathize with these 400 employees. Strength to them. Freedom of expression has its limits and Hanouna has exceeded them. Translate to English
Ouin ouin If you were honest you would explain why the channel is forced to stop but it goes against the point of view that you want to anchor in the heads of the gullible who listen to you. "Gneugneu freedom of expression...400 unemployed...." 21 sanctions in 12 years mainly because of Hanouna (7.5 M € in fines). It is not Arcom who is responsible for these unemployed but the channel's managers who ignored the sanctions. Translate to English
Why is no one moving, in France, people let themselves be done for, for everything, soon you will have nothing left and it will be too late. I think of your, our elders who fought for your freedom. THEY MUST BE TURNING IN THEIR GRAVES Translate to English
Hypocrisy has no limits, we are told about freedom of expression while Hanouna tells his own columnists and some guests to "shut up" accompanied by insults and mockery when they do not agree with him. The question is who made a mistake with his attitude of disrespect and hateful remarks after more warning and sanction? Hanouna and the big boss Boloré Translate to English
The argument of the 400 people is true but not complete, the funding for all the cable channels will remain the same and there will be a lot of hiring on the new channels/shows. It must be seen as a communicating vessel and stop being too reductive with analyses of too low a level. As for the argument of freedom of expression, it seems to me that this is not what is being criticized about the channel; it is rather its numerous convictions for proven abuses which have simply caused the service not to renew a channel which carries messages incompatible with the rules. Finally, the closure of the channel is not only due to the decision of the ARCOM but also and above all to that of the group which refuses to maintain the channel if it is outside the 'cable', this is purely a business choice of the Bolloré group, let's not shift all the blame Read moreTranslate to English
It should be noted that officially, the TNT channels of C8 and NRJ 12 have been "redistributed" since July 2024 and that these 2 channels KNEW that they would no longer be broadcast from March 2025. NRJ 12 seem to have accepted things, but for C8 it seems to be since July 2024 the big "I don't give a damn" because as we have a super big boss who is all-powerful, inevitably by then "they" will change their minds. Bad luck, there is therefore a Czech billionaire who has been arriving in France for some time, apparently creating jobs, and so he will be bringing in a new TV channel by June 2025. Our well-known billionaire already having SEVERAL channels, indeed it was perhaps time to redistribute the TNT channels a little otherwise we would only end up with the TF1 group, the M6 ??group, and the Canal+ group...

Great news! I am delighted that the channel is permanently closed. Honouna thought he could do anything, like a king above the rules. Translate to English
Why are you walking next to the truth? Who fired 400 workers? It was the presenter of the show who imagined he had the power to do anything: insults, racism, incitement. The punishment was just. Translate to English
