France 5’s “C à vous” loses hundreds of thousands of viewers to football broadcasts

The daily talk show “C à vous” on France 5 experienced a sharp drop in audience on 29 June 2026 as live football coverage of the Brazil‑Japan match aired on rival channel M6. The program attracted 830,000 viewers, representing a 5.9 % market share, compared with 1.22 million viewers (9.2 % share) a year earlier – a loss of about 400,000 viewers and a 3.3‑point share decline.

Further football kick‑offs scheduled for the following days are expected to impact the show again, with matches slated for Tuesday 30 June and Wednesday, each beginning in the early evening. The audience slump reflects competition from high‑profile sports events rather than issues with the programme’s content.

Guests on the episode included journalist Siavosh Ghazi, health editor Nicolas Berrod, and SOS Médecins president Philippe Paranque, who discussed post‑heat‑wave health impacts, but these segments did not halt the viewership decline.
