Interview
with Mathieu Bejot TV France International Executive

1- Tell us about your
major success during the first half of
2005:
Two
particularly note-worthy examples from the various
successes enjoyed by French programs this year: French
drama has fared particularly well in
Italy.
After 2001
Audiovisuel's Cordier and PJ and Marathon's
Saint-Tropez, Rete4 has shown a slate of drama in
primetime, with A Woman of Honour repeatedly pulling in
around 3 million viewers. French animation is definitely
making its presence felt on US kids’ stations, surfing
on the wave of success of Marathon's Totally Spies,
Moonscoop's Code Lyoko on Cartoon Network and
Millimages' Corneil & Bernie on Nicktoon. More shows
have been sold and will be aired soon, such as
Futurikon's Dragon Hunters and Alphanim's Robot Boy.
2- How
do you use EurodataTV/Mediametrie's
services?
Three years
ago, TV France International and CNC (the National
Centre of Cinema) asked EurodataTV/Médiamétrie to study
the ratings of French programmes aired in four key
European territories (Germany, UK, Italy and Spain) and
in Quebec. We compared their results with their
competitors' and with the average of the channel and the
slot in which they are shown.
3- How
do the services improve your
business?
The service
is a great help to French distributors. French
programmes are sold and aired all over the world. To
access and convince key players in a very competitive
environment, you need efficient tools. Good ratings in
major markets can speak volumes to potential
buyers! | |

Reality,
the link between Fiction, Entertainment and
Factual Abstract from "International TV Trends"
report |
 | |
The strongest link The
2004-2005 season more than ever encapsulates the
phenomenon of mixing TV genres which has been evolving
over a number of years. The link between entertainment,
drama and factual programs has taken shape through the
prism of reality. Increasingly demanding viewers are
looking for absolute transparency and for an immediate
denouement. Hence, there is a need for the three genres
to do away with any kind of secrecy. Whether in reality
TV, series or documentaries, you have to make a clean
breast of things and show absolutely every aspect of
society and, above all, about yourself.
Reality TV
benefits Reality TV has a thousand and one
advantages: unearthing new talent, changing a life
(though it must always be for the better), washing your
dirty linen in public, or even changing a pumpkin into a
carriage as in a fairy tale. Whispering things in the
ears of attentive psychoanalytical viewers can offer
collateral benefits: like the person unburdening him or
herself, the viewer feels better afterwards. As all
proper therapy requires a therapist, TV created the
coach (Bob: do you mean COUCH?).
Docu-soap
invasion The 2004-2005 season also saw more
and more docu-soaps appearing Once again, it is
impossible to do anything more real or closer to
viewers, because these shows follow real people as they
go about their everyday lives. This is “pure reality”,
with no scripts, covering every single stage of life.
This is a perfect example of TV being held up as a
mirror to real life.
Drama is getting
real Drama became significantly tinged with
reality throughout the 2004-2005 season. Viewers’
relationships with drama have changed: they have become
involved and play a role alongside their heroes,
although these seem to be becoming less and less
fictional. A wind of TV realism is blowing through the
worldwide audiovisual landscape...

Tour de
France 2005 edition: on the road to new
records |
 | |
|
The Tour de
France has just started and nothing seems to have
changed: the crowd is still impressive along the
roadside. All over the world TV viewers are present at
roll call in front of their TV sets to follow Lance
Armstrong’s final tour.
This world
famous cycling competition has always represented a good
opportunity for TV channels to attract a lot of TV
viewers in the summer period.
The mountain
stages have always traditionally been the most followed
on TV. In 2004, the stage Lannemezan – Plateau de Beille
broadcast live on Saturday afternoon was viewed by more
than 6,4 million people on average on France 2 and by
more than 2,5 million people on average on
TVE1.
With this new
edition and even before the Alpes or the Pyrénées
stages, good results have already been obtained in terms
of TV ratings by the broadcasters during the Prologue
stage: more than 3,4 million people in France on
France 2, more than 3,3 million TV viewers in Germany on
ARD and around 410 000 TV viewers on the American cable
channel Outdoor Life Network.
