Cyril Hanouna, a prominent figure at Canal+ for the past 12 years, is reportedly preparing to leave the network, with speculation that his show could end by December 20, 2024.

Hanouna has announced he is working on solutions with Canal+ to maintain his daily show, 'Touche pas à mon poste' (TPMP), amid these developments.

Discussions regarding Hanouna's future are expected to begin soon, with a source indicating that a 'divorce' between him and Canal+ seems inevitable.

Gérald-Brice Viret, CEO of Canal+ France, has stated that the network is making every effort to keep Hanouna on air following the planned shutdown of C8.

The media regulator Arcom's recent decision to exclude C8 from frequency renewal jeopardizes key shows like TPMP, complicating Hanouna's situation.

While rumors of a split between Hanouna and Canal+ have circulated, Viret has denied these claims, indicating that discussions are ongoing.

Canal+ has also challenged Arcom's decision in the Council of State, which is expected to rule by mid to late November.

Viret expressed support for the 400 employees affected by Arcom's decision, emphasizing their contributions that have made C8 the top TNT channel this year.

Amidst these challenges, Hanouna is exploring new projects, including a potential streaming platform, while reaching out to other television networks.

Despite the uncertainty, Hanouna has stated that transferring to a rival channel is not currently being considered, as he has 18 months remaining on his contract.

In light of the ongoing challenges, Hanouna has claimed he feels harassed by Arcom and is considering legal action against the authority.

If the appeal against Arcom's decision is successful and C8 retains its frequency, TPMP will continue as usual on the channel.
