“Puremédias l’Hebdo”, what is it?
Nearly 7 months after the end of “C médiatique” on France 5, KIOSCO.TV, the production hub of the Webedia-Elephant group, and T18 decided to launch a media decoding show on air. On February 1st, the new TNT channel thus launched “Puremédias l’Hebdo”, presented by Virginie Guilhaume. This new weekly program, broadcast every Sunday at lunchtime, is part of the channel’s strategy to strengthen its policy of creating original content. It becomes the fifth weekly rendezvous created by T18 and enriches a structured programming focused on recurring shows deeply rooted in the schedule. “The media tell our time as much as they shape it. With ‘Puremédias l’Hebdo’, we wanted to take a fair and concrete look at what is really happening, on screen and behind the scenes,” said Christopher Baldelli, president of T18.
This program also marks the great return of Virginie Guilhaume to television. After making a name for herself in entertainment by hosting the “Nouvelle Star” in 2009 and 2010, the presenter returns to a field where she was not necessarily expected. “I have a press card, I started by attending journalism school. I really wanted to do it, but I was not necessarily expected to. I was immediately offered entertainment. Coming back to my first love is extremely natural and logical for me,” she revealed in an interview with Puremédias.
In this show, Viriginie Guilhaume promises to focus on all media, not just television: “It seems unthinkable to me to consider that the media world is limited to television, radio, or print media. Today, the media also include content creators, social networks, platforms like Netflix, Canal+, Spotify, TF1+, and the podcasting world. It’s all these elements that create this interesting ecosystem, and the idea is to connect these different ways of accessing content.”
