C8, the channel which employs controversial French TV talk show host, Cyril Hanouna, has been fined an unprecedented 3.5 million euros because Hanouna insulted the French MP Louis Boyard during an "out of control" live television interview last year.
The French Communications Regulation Authority (Arcom) found that the November 2022 interview, in which Hanouna frequently interrupted Boyard, calling him "an idiot," "an incompetent" and "a shit," showed a complete disregard by the broadcast editor of the obligation to remain in control of an interview.
