An increasingly insistent rumor announces the arrival of Cyril Hanouna on M6. But Karine Le Marchand, flagship host of the chain, does not see her with a very good eye …
Cyril Hanounathe star host of C8 and his sulphurous program Touche not at my postcould well make their comeback in the lap of M6. According to several concordant sources, advanced negotiations are underway between Hanouna and David Larramendy, Chairman of the Management Board of the M6 group, with a view to an arrival from the start of the September school year.
This information, first on Friday, January 24, on Friday, January 24 by the media journalist Clément Garin on the social network X (ex-Twitter), was partly confirmed by Liberation. The newspaper evokes “contacts established for several months” for a possible transfer, even if nothing would yet be signed at this stage according to Cyril Hanouna himself.
If this arrival was cleared, it would probably take place on the W9 antenna, chain of the M6 group. No project would however be planned on RTL, the group’s radio station, where Hanouna has nevertheless officiated in the past between 2006 and 2011. The management of M6 in any case denied internally any imminent transfer.
“If I come I go,” says Karine the merchant
The fact remains that this perspective already creates a violent climate of tension in the corridors of M6, especially on the side of the animators. The most upset is none other than Karine Le Marchand, star presenter of the program Love is in the meadow. She entrusted her anger with Liberation this Friday morning:
“If I come I go. It is out of the question that I am in the same group and in the same photo as a person who harasses me, despises me and has been constantly insulting me for seven years, who Openly criticism, which has been very far away for a long time, “said the host.
Karine Le Marchand, who admits to lead “the sling in internal”, hopes that “another group will have the kindness of [l’]Accommodating “If Hanouna had to land on M6. She recalls that in 2020, the chain had prohibited her animators from going to the set of TPMPafter moved remarks by Jean-Michel Maire against him.
In vain obviously, since she assures that Hanouna continued to attack him since: “He said everywhere that he could not know me. As if by chance, since September, he became nice. It put me the ear chip “. Karine the merchant said he had spoken about it in January to David Larramendy, who would have “confirmed that they were thinking about bringing him.”
Julien Courbet also in the “Fronde” Anti-Hanouna
Another point of tension for the host: the claimed proximity of Hanouna with Mimi Marchand, pope of the celebrity press with whom the merchant is on trial. “Hanouna says that Mimi Marchand is like her mother, while I am on trial with her. All the alert signals are lighting up there,” she worries. Before concluding: “This is an ethical question. In life, you have to make moral choices and be straight in your boots. In terms of images, it’s catastrophic.”
According to liberation information, Karine Le Marchand is not the only one to oppose a arrival of Cyril Hanouna. Julien Courbet, another flagship animator of M6 who left C8 in 2018 in bad terms after a complicated collaboration with Hanouna, would also be hostile.
But the final decision will ultimately return to the management of M6. Cyril Hanouna is said to be pending a decision by the Council of State, which must decide in February for the last time on the use of Canal+ following the withdrawal by the Arch of the TNT frequency of C8. An element that could weigh in the scale.
