A New Era in Television: Maxime Switek to Host BFMTV’s 8 PM News
BFMTV has announced a groundbreaking move in the world of television and continuous news channels. Starting in January 2025, Maxime Switek will take the helm of the coveted 8 PM news slot, currently dominated by France 2 and TF1.
Viewers will soon be introduced to this fresh 8 PM news program on TNT in January. Maxime Switek, a prominent journalist at BFMTV, will go head-to-head with Gilles Bouleau on TF1 and Anne-Sophie Lapix on France 2.
This news segment will replace the current Brunet 8 PM show hosted by Éric Brunet and Alice Darfeuille, which had taken over from Laurent Ruquier’s 8 PM show at the start of 2023 and was quickly abandoned.
BFMTV’s goal is to not only compete with TF1 and France 2, the leaders in the time slot, but also with CNews and Pascal Praud’s L’Heure des pros 2, which currently outperforms BFMTV in ratings during this crucial time slot.
According to Le Monde, this new 8 PM news program is expected to run for 2 hours, featuring reports, panel discussions with experts, and interviews.
Former voice of Europe 1 and ex-contributor to C Ã vous on France 5, Maxime Switek has become one of the most recognizable journalists on BFMTV in recent years. After hosting evening shows, he now leads the morning segment from 9 AM to noon. It is yet to be announced who will replace him in the morning slot on BFMTV, the exact start date of the new 8 PM news program on the channel, and if there will be a weekend format.
