Sources: 48. Developments: 25. During July 2026 France Télévisions and TF1 underwent a rapid reshuffle of on‑air talent. France 3 cancelled ‘Dimanche en politique’, moving Francis Letellier to France 2’s ‘Les 4 vérités’ and planning a new Sunday political show with Benjamin Duhamel for 30 August. Léa Salamé’s brief stint on France 2’s 20 h news ended on 16 July, with Jean‑Baptiste Marteau taking over and becoming the interim weekday anchor on 20 July; the broadcast drew 3.57 million viewers (23 % share). Leïla Kaddour, who recalled a harrowing live‑reporting experience during the Dominique Strauss‑Kahn scandal, joined France 2 as weekend anchor. France Inter added weekend‑morning hosts Éva Rocé and Quentin Lafay for September, while Jimmy Mohamed launched a health‑focused programme on France 5 amid personal allegations. Camille Combal began a Saturday summer slot on France Inter on 4 July. The final ‘Dimanche en politique’ aired on 5 July, and Michel Drucker’s ‘Vivement dimanche’ was pre‑empted by Tour de France coverage. Télématin expanded its runtime on 7 July, with Maya Lauqué leading the first segment and Agathe Lecaron anchoring the magazine portion; a new studio set and branding were introduced. Damien Thévenot signed off after 27 years on 9 July, succeeded by Maya Lauqué, while TF1 veteran Gilles Bouleau presented his final seasonal ‘20 Heures’ on the same day, attracting 4.65 million viewers; Jean‑Baptiste Boursier will take over. In late July, Télématin announced further staff exits: Cédric Dandeville introduced the retirement of a behind‑the‑scenes contributor after 37 years, and Thévenot posted an emotional farewell, as the programme recorded record summer audiences of over half a million viewers per segment. Earlier in May‑June, Roland‑Garros pre‑empted several programmes and prompted the temporary removal of "Un dimanche à la campagne". ## Timeline ### 2026-08-03: Damien Thévenot exits Télématin after 27‑year tenure Damien Thévenot ends a 27‑year run on Télématin; Maya Lauqué and Agathe Lecaron take over, while interim host Cédric Faiche is rebuked on‑air by Julia Martin. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/damien-thvenot-exits-tlmatin-after-27year-tenure ### 2026-07-31: France 2’s Télématin Marks Staff Departures After Decades Télématin on France 2 announced the retirement of a 37‑year‑old backstage accessory and earlier, presenter Damien Thévenot’s emotional farewell, as the show hits record summer audiences. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/france-2s-tlmatin-marks-staff-departures-after-decades ### 2026-07-21: France 2 reshuffles anchors amid presenter turnover and on‑air trauma France 2 replaced Léa Salamé on its 20 h news and later appointed Leïla Kaddour, who recounted a traumatic live‑reporting stint during the DSK scandal, as a weekend anchor. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/france-2-reshuffles-anchors-amid-presenter-turnover-and-onair-trauma ### 2026-07-09: Gilles Bouleau and Damien Thévenot sign off from flagship French TV programs Gilles Bouleau and Damien Thévenot ended their seasons on TF1's 20 Heures and France 2's Télématin on 9 July 2026, with successors named and Tenoudji commenting on body‑shaming remarks. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/gilles-bouleau-and-damien-thvenot-sign-off-from-flagship-french-tv-programs ### 2026-07-08: Jimmy Mohamed suspended from France Télévisions amid domestic‑violence accusations France Télévisions has temporarily suspended Jimmy Mohamed from “Le Mag de la Santé” after domestic‑violence accusations; Flavie Flament will host alone as the show moves to France 2. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/jimmy-mohamed-suspended-from-france-tlvisions-amid-domesticviolence-accusations ### 2026-07-07: Damien Thévenot exits Télématin as Maya Lauqué takes solo helm Damien Thévenot leaves Télématin after 27 years; Maya Lauqué will now host solo as the show expands, and France Télévisions reveals format changes and new projects for Thévenot. 10 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/m6s-world-cup-broadcast-spikes-ratings-reshaping-french-tv-viewership ### 2026-07-05: France 3 reshuffles weekend lineup, ending ‘Dimanche en politique’ and pausing ‘Vivement dimanche’ France 3 ends “Dimanche en politique” with Francis Letellier’s farewell and suspends “Vivement dimanche”, replacing it with Tour de France coverage and other repeats. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/france-3-reshuffles-weekend-lineup-ending-dimanche-en-politique-and-pausing-vivement-dimanche ### 2026-07-05: France 2’s summer shows post mixed audience figures France 2’s summer programming saw Faustine Bollaert’s show pull 1.09 M viewers (9.7 % share) while Cyril Féraud’s debut on Fort Boyard drew 2.75 M (18.1 % share), beating rival broadcasts. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/france-2s-summer-shows-post-mixed-audience-figures ### 2026-07-04: Camille Combal debuts summer program on France Inter as French radio shifts schedules France’s radio stations launch new summer line‑ups, with Camille Combal hosting the Saturday show “Les affaires reprennent” on France Inter after leaving NRJ. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/camille-combal-debuts-summer-program-on-france-inter-as-french-radio-shifts-schedules ### 2026-07-03: Jimmy Mohamed quits C8 show amid domestic‑violence accusations Jimmy Mohamed left Cyril Hanouna’s TPMP show, citing his wife’s advice and a wish for privacy, while facing domestic‑violence allegations from his ex‑wife. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/jimmy-mohamed-quits-c8-show-amid-domesticviolence-accusations ### 2026-07-02: France 2 and France Inter unveil new presenter line‑ups Léa Salamé’s July 2 France 2 news broadcast drew 3.27 million viewers; she will be replaced by Jean‑Baptiste Marteau on July 16.
