The extremely tense situation in France in recent weeks has forced TF1 to review the recording of its live broadcasts.
Safety first. Due to current events and the anxiety-provoking climate in France linked to the war between Israel and Hamas and following the knife attack which led to the death of literature teacher Dominique Bernard, and left three injured in a high school in Arras last October 13, Elisabeth Borne triggered the “emergency attack” alert in mid-October, the highest level of the Vigipirate system. Faced with this tense situation, television productions are adapting. According to information from our colleagues at Parisianwhat puremedias.com is able to confirm, TF1 decided to abandon live recording of NRJ Music Awards 2023 scheduled for next Friday, November 10. The award ceremony presented by Nikos Aliagas will indeed take place but it will be recorded a few hours earlier.
“What to do in the event of a bomb threat just minutes from a live prime?”
“A measure which will not have much impact on the air” according to the daily even if the front page still decided to rewatch the opening of its show. Exit the red carpet at the foot of the Palais des Festivals in Cannes where the host welcomed French and international artists every year, the ceremony will begin directly in the room and the stars will not tread the emblematic steps of the Croisette. “The strengthening of the Vigipirate plan, the repeated bomb threats at the Palace of Versailles and the cancellation of the MTV Europe Music Awardsplanned this weekend in Villepinte (Seine-Saint-Denis), require us to strengthen security“, indicated a person close to the matter to Le Parisien.

Faced with this complex situation, the first channel is studying a similar system for the big Saturday evening shows of the “Star Academy“. It remains to find a solution so as not to taint the interactivity of the entertainment produced by Endemol; the public vote being one of the central elements of the mechanics of the mechanics of the musical program. For the moment, TF1 does not has not yet made a decision on this thorny issue.
