Arcom has made its decision: After the comments made by Cyril Hanouna on the program “Touche pas à mon poste” broadcast on November 10, 2022, C8 channel has to pay 3.5 million euros. The media regulator decided that a strong penalty was necessary, taking into account the “nature and scope of the offenses” and “previous sanctions for breach of the same obligations”. This is the largest financial penalty ever imposed on a French television station.
As a reminder, during this programme, Cyril Hanouna violently attacked Louis Boyard (LFI) by calling them “shit”, “clown”, “scum”, “moron”. Second, he accused Vincent Bolloré, owner of the Canal+ group and channel C8, of “impairing Africa”. An attack on Cyril Hanouna’s mind-blowing boss.
While Louis Boyard welcomed the news on his Twitter account, the Canal+ group “sads” Arcom’s decision, announcing in a press release this Thursday evening that it will “execute as soon as possible” remedies.

Tonight, Thursday, February 9, 2023, Cyril Hanouna reacted to his own program. The father, far from being saddened by the news, was more motivated than ever before. “It’s a big fine, but we’re still here and continuing what we’ve been doing,” she said on set. “There are those who are angry with us, as they say, we are at war,” he adds. He later boasted of being the head of “the PAF’s most open programme”. “Let the haters comment, we did it,” adds Confident, who garnered another 2.5 million viewers last night thanks to his interview with Francis Lalanne and the angry farmers.
