French television viewership experienced varied performance in late August 2026. The series ‘OPJ’ concluded its seventh season on France 3 with strong ratings, attracting between 2.63 million and 2.91 million viewers, leading to a confirmed eighth season to be filmed in La Réunion. In contrast, the debut of ‘Koh-Lanta: All Stars’ on TF1 saw its lowest historical start, though it remained competitive among specific demographics. By the end of the month, broader market data indicated shifting audience shares across major networks. TF1 saw a recovery in viewership, reaching an 18.1% audience share. In the news sector, LCI reached a historic milestone by tying with BFMTV for the top position with a 2.8% market share, aided by a high-audience broadcast of a MEDEF presidential debate. While France 3 achieved its best month of the year, M6 saw a significant decline in share following the conclusion of its World Cup coverage. For the week of August 24 to August 30, 2026, TF1 maintained its lead with an 18.6% market share, marking its fifth best week of the year. France 2 also experienced growth, reaching a 14.7% market share, supported by new programming such as ‘Télématinet’. In the news sector, BFMTV has since overtaken LCI for the top position. Meanwhile, the channel 6ter saw a decline, losing 0.5 points in market share compared to the previous year.
