La first chain beaten, on the wire, by M6. This Monday, January 9, TF1 is to broadcast, at 11:10 p.m., the interview given by Prince Harry to the English channel ITV News. Except that, as raises The Parisian, the royal guest gave several interviews to the English-speaking media. If TF1 has arrogated an exclusive broadcasting right for the interview with ITV News, M6 has managed to snatch the exclusivity of the interview between the American journalist Anderson Cooper and Harry, broadcast on CBS on Sunday January 8.
On the broadcasting side, M6 announced, from Friday January 6, that it would broadcast the interview, this Monday, as part of a special edition of its 7:45 p.m. newspaper. A little less than three hours before the front page, so . Doubled, the employees of TF1 look gray, according to The Parisian. “It’s amazing that we haven’t also secured the rights of CBS, even though our version [d’ITV News] is the longest […]. Well done by M6! we greet.

Special programming on both channels
On TF1, the broadcast of Harry’s interview is scheduled for 11:10 p.m., just after the launch of his event series Toulouse-Lautrec high school. In the wake of the interview between Harry and the English presenter Tom Bradby, the front page will offer a documentary on the duel between Meghan and Kate. On M6, the grid will be shaken up in the afternoon, with the broadcast of two documentaries on the princely couples, Harry-Meghan and Kate-William.
This “war” around the British prince is far from anecdotal for the two television channels, who were to marry before the wedding was buried by the Competition Authority. In March 2021, Harry and Meghan’s smashing interview attracted 1.46 million viewers (6.3% market share) on TMC.
With regard to the commercial target, the score was just as interesting with 12.6%, ranking the chain in the top 3. Enough to attract covetousness, while the Prince’s Memoirs will be in French bookstores this Tuesday, January 10.
