This is a decision that made a lot of talk. Initially planned on TF1, then on TMC, the third group match of the French women's team at the Euro, against the Netherlands (5-2 Bleues victory), was finally reprogrammed on France 2 Sunday evening. The first channel preferring to transmit instead the final of the World Cup of clubs lost by PSG against Chelsea (3-0).
A polemical choice, but which turned out to pay for TF1. Indeed, the Bleues suffered from comparison with Paris Saint-Germain. The girls of Laurent Bonadei brought together just under 2.3 million viewers on France 2, or 13.8 % audience share.
For comparison, the World Cup final between PSG and Chelsea brought together nearly 4.8 million viewers on TF1, 30.1 % audience share. A figure well below that of the Champions League final, which had gathered 11.8 million viewers on M6 and Canal+ (54 % PDA), but which allows TF1 to achieve the best audience this Sunday.
PSG at the top of the audiences, the third blue
The Bleues match finished on its third program in terms of audiences, behind Chelsea-Psg therefore and the France 3 TV movie “Alex Hugo”. For comparison, Marie-Antoinette Katoto and her partners had gathered 2.8 when they entered the Euro, then 2.9 million during her second meeting.
