The first round of the presidential election is fast approaching. On Sunday, April 10, voters will go to the polls to determine the two candidates who will face off in the runoff. Before D-Day, Emmanuel Macron will go to La Défense Arena (Hauts-de-Seine) on Saturday, April 2, to hold his first big meeting. But pretty much, it just might not have been televised. It’s flawed that Arcom-imposed “strict talk time parity” period went into effect this week. A restriction that represents a real headache for television channels.
To best fulfill this obligation, LCI will broadcast a special program during the weekend called “A weekend of persuasion”. This will allow the TF1 group’s news channel to broadcast most of Emmanuel Macron’s meeting. “While we were broadcasting the other candidates’ meetings, it seemed to us journalistic nonsense not to broadcast what would undoubtedly be the only meeting of the president who went before the first round.LCI boss Fabien Namias was right in an interview with colleagues from Puremedias.
During this weekend, other candidates will also be in the limelight. On Saturday, viewers will be able to watch the meetings of Anne Hidalgo, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, Valérie Pécresse and Fabien Roussel. On Sunday, Eric Zemmour, Jordan Bardella, and Yannick Jadot will have their turn to shine in a special from 12:00 to 14:00.
