C8 Shuts Down as Cyril Hanouna Hosts Final Episode of 'TPMP'

The popular French TV channel closes following regulatory decisions, with Hanouna set to reveal his next move after years of controversies.

C8, the French TV channel hosting 'Touche Pas à Mon Poste' (TPMP), will cease broadcasting on February 28, 2025, after its TNT license was not renewed by Arcom due to repeated regulatory violations.
Cyril Hanouna hosted a farewell special for TPMP, featuring former guests, nostalgic highlights, and a promise to announce his future plans.
Hanouna has teased four potential paths, including joining M6, moving to CStar, launching his own digital platform, or leaving television entirely to pursue other ventures.
The channel faced over €7 million in fines over the years for breaches like discriminatory content, disrespect for personal rights, and misinformation aired on TPMP.
C8's closure has sparked polarized reactions, with critics citing its controversies and supporters framing the decision as an attack on free speech.
