tensions on the future of the “clear” on Canal + were known. The announcement of the departure of Yann Barthes and his team nevertheless created a small earthquake in the French media world. “I will introduce not” Le Petit Journal “next season. I want to write with teams Bangumi [of the show's production company] a new story and new adventures, “ said the leader in a message published by the AFP 7 to 30 pm, Monday, May 9 Even members of the team were surprised they had only received yesterday an SMS Yann Barthes preventing that information would come out the next morning

in the process, Canal + issued a terse statement announcing that “Le Petit Journal resume in September in a renovated formula that will be presented, as well as whole new grid of the Canal + group, during the summer, “. Indeed, if the mark belongs to, the issue will have to be rebuilt entirely, nor his leader-founder Bangumi nor his production company are participating

“It does not glue”
Where will they go? Speculation is already rife. The facilitator will “join France 2″ , said Europe 1 on Monday morning. The chain ensures that “There is no discussion in this direction” . “To this day, he does not come home,” says even the World boss of the chain, Vincent Meslet. However, France Televisions has decided to entrust Bangumi a new weekly cultural program in September, called “Amazing.” The only certainty Yann Barthes will not present this magazine.
If the exchange between the team of Yann Barthes and Bolloré remained cordial, he created yet incompatibility
The divorce between Bangumi and Canal + was it inevitable?
“There a difference between the desires of Yann to develop and difficulties of Canal + Bolloré. This does not glue “, summarizes a close case.
Another source close to Vivendi says that separation is almost ” mutual agreement “
“Yann Barthes is very busy outside. He wanted to move. After fifteen years, he had arrived at a success and maturity of his show on Canal + “
A detail did not escape the connoisseurs of the group. The statement of the string “thank” the facilitator and his team for “beautiful years together” . Facilitators and leaders dismissed since last year by Vincent Bolloré, Chairman of the Vivendi Supervisory Board, have not all given the same consideration.
If trade between Yann team Barthes and Vincent Bolloré remained cordial, he nevertheless created a mismatch, as the new boss of Vivendi increased the alarmist statements on the status of its Canal +, the need for drastic savings and character non-priority of the “clear.” Reportedly, Mr. Bolloré has not requested budget decrease the “Petit Journal”, rather requiring stability, but he demanded that “Supplement” presented by Ali Baddou, also produced by Bangumi, cheaper.
the management of Vivendi also canceled special editions of the “Supplement” scheduled for the Cannes Film Festival, though announced by the Canal + group’s director, Maxime Saada, in Le Parisien . By savvy entrepreneurs, leaders of Bangumi, who have built their production independence by creating their own society, while “Le Petit Journal” began as a sequence of “Grand Journal”, wanted to anticipate the difficulties of Canal + and be less related to the chain of destiny.
Vincent Bolloré did he stop “Le Petit Journal” issue flagship of the chain, one of the few attracting a young audience, except that of Cyril Hanouna D8 on? This is doubtful because the industrial, famous little amateur spirit of derision, had ostensibly been attached to the satirical, not without a touch of irony: the general meeting of Vivendi, Thursday 21 April, he was held to distribute a sketch of Catherine and Liliane duo, anxious to get fired when the switchboard announces them a call “Vincent Bolloré” … which proves ultimately to be a mistake.
“the light is not the heart of the problem”
Yann Barthes and Bangumi parties, what will be left of the “clear” Canal +? no one will know until the summer, but it is confirmed that he will not be removed. However, the episode confirms that this slice of free emissions is not the priority of the group. The show was the most watched of the “clear”, with 1.1 to 1.4 million viewers on average. But it all even lost almost 400 000 viewers during the past year, in a joint recoil to free broadcasts of Canal +. “Le Grand Journal” totally revamped after the decision of Vincent Bolloré to stop his collaboration with producer KM, gets bad hearings. “The Puppets”, are meanwhile fully encrypted.
“The light is not the heart of the Canal + problem. It was a luxurious showcase of a rich chain, bring supposed subscribers indirectly. Today, Canal + is struggling for survival. This is especially plays with a distribution deal like the one forged with BeIN Sports, around football “ says a source close to Vivendi.
The chain has their eyes on the competition authority, which must approve the deal by late May. For Canal +, times have clearly changed.
