"The Voice" 2020: the program cut before the end, internet users furious against TF1: Femme Actuelle Le MAG

Fans of The Voice had a very bad surprise, Saturday March 21. While watching the final battles of this ninth season, viewers were amazed to see the show stop at 10:30 p.m.. Just after the performance of Kim and Ifé, members of Marc Lavoine's team, TF1 announced that the continuation of the duels would be broadcast next week. Instead of the traditional debrief, it’s an old telecrochet number that the public could watch in the second half of the evening. What cause many reactions on Twitter. "You play with our nerves confined there! You are crazy. We want the show to distract us and you make us blow up a rerun? Do you want to go out without a mask or what ?! Send the real program and quickly!", a surfer got carried away."You could have announced that it was a low cost one hour cut program", reacted another."Much too short, with the ad that pollutes all of TF1's programs, it lasted an hour! They make fun of us", can we also read.

The explanation of Nikos Aliagas

But then, why the last issue of The Voice was it so short? Simply because of the confinement of the coronavirus epidemic. "To continue offering new numbers for as long as possible, TF1 and ITV Studios have not opted for the rerun solution and have decided to reduce the length of the program. Thank you all"Nikos Aliagas said on Twitter. After the battles, the first channel had to dedicate two evenings in the unprecedented knockout test and then broadcast the lives, whose filming was supposed to start on Saturday 11 April. In this period of crisis, telecrochet production therefore preferred to play the provident card and cut each recording in half to extend the broadcast time for this new season.
