IN BRIEF

• Cyril Hanouna and the M6 ​​group are in negotiations for a possible arrival of the host on W9, awaiting the decision of the Council of State scheduled for February.
• Karine Le Marchand is firmly opposed to the arrival of Cyril Hanouna at M6, citing years of harassment and contempt on his part.
• Internal tensions at M6 are increasing, with some employees fearing that Hanouna's arrival will harm the channel's image.

Nothing is decided yet. According to Libération and journalist Clément Garin, via the X network (formerly known as Twitter), Cyril Hanouna and the representatives of the M6 ​​groupwould not have left the negotiating table yet. The two parties are currently discussing the possible arrival of the TPMP host soon on one of the media's channels, supposedly W9.

“The strongman of C8 must wait for the final decision of the Council of State before being able to sign with another group”, specifies Cl&eacutement Garin on social networks. According to our colleague, the decision should be made in “the middle of February”. Approached by the same journalist, the management of Canal+, the host's current employer, refuses to comment “Cyril's choices”.

Cyril Hanouna: why his arrival on M6 is making people grind their teeth

Karine Le Marchand is worried about the probable recruitment of the “PAF troublemaker” at M6. So she has already set her conditions. “It is out of the question that I be in the same group and in the same photo asa person who harasses me, despises me and insults me nonstop for seven years, who criticizes me openly, who has gone very very far for a long time”, warns the host and producer in the columns from Libération.

For good reason, M6 had cut ties with Cyril Hanouna in 2020 following the “inappropriate” remarks of Jean-Michel Maireà against her. The TPMP columnist had stated at the time that Karine Le Marchand, “very good at the whims of stars”, was banking mainly “on her beauty and her allure”, going so far as to accuse her of not having paid for a cosmetic surgery procedure. The presenter of L'Amour est dans le pré had contested these allegations.

Cyril Hanouna: this little bomb in the corridors of M6

The storm unleashed by Karine Le Marchand stirs up tensions in the corridors of M6. “Since when does an employee dictate a company's strategy ?”, an employee is offended when interviewed by Le Parisien. According to a rumor, the presenter would use “this affair” to prepare her transfer “planned for a long time” to a competing chain.

The possible arrival of Cyril Hanouna has nevertheless had the effect of a small bomb among the colleagues of Karine Le Marchand. “It's not possible!”, barely admit a journalist, assuring that: “What Karine Le Marchand says is widely shared by the editorial staff. For us, it's a no“. In her eyes, “Hanouna, it's no longer entertainment, it's totally biased news commentary. It would harm the channel's image, not to mention the potential flight of advertisers”.
