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".
