The rivalry between the first and the sixth channel was not extinguished by the attempted takeover of M6 by TF1. Channel six will broadcast the interview given on American TV by Prince Harry on Monday evening ahead of the release of his memoirs. TF1, for its part, will retransmit to its viewers in the wake of the other interview granted by the Duke of Sussex to a British channel.
M6 has acquired “the exclusive rights to Prince Harry’s interview with the star journalist of the CBS channel, Anderson Cooper”, scheduled on Sunday across the Atlantic in the program “60 Minutes”, the channel announced in a press release. The interview will be broadcast “as part of a special edition of 19: 45 presented by Xavier de Moulins on Monday January 9”, she specified.
TF1 advanced
Thursday, TF1 announced that it would broadcast “exclusively in France” at 11:10 p.m., “after the launch of the new series “Lycée Toulouse-Lautrec””, the other interview given by the 38-year-old prince to the British channel ITV , also expected on January 8 across the Channel.
These interviews precede the publication of Prince Harry’s book by a few days, The Alternate, of which a number of sensational revelations have already leaked in the press. The prince exiled in the United States recounts in particular having killed 25 “enemy combatants” in Afghanistan, a violent altercation with his brother William, having taken cocaine, or his opposition to the remarriage of his father Charles, now king. In addition to the interview with CBS (also available on 6play), M6 will broadcast two documentaries on Monday afternoon as part of the magazine “Un Jour, un doc: Harry, Meghan, la guerre est declared” and “Kate et William: le triomphe of love “.
