There was an interview with William Leymergie (who Leipers is covering for on host duties in that clip) who said, when A2 (now France2) were putting plans together for Tele Marin, they looked at Breakfast Time/TVam for inspiration.
Judging by that clip, they must have asked TVam how they did the on screen clock, and produced a very good copy.
By the way, love the 'home style' set of the mid-80's. Compared to the current 'operating room chic' of all icy white and clinical look of today it shows how show direction and look changes so much over 30 years.
Interesting to see a young looking Leipers, most notable to overseas viewers for hosting Questions pour un Champion, or the French version of Going For Gold.

Julian Lepers only stopped presenting Question pour le Champion this year.
Here's a full edition of Télématin on France 2 from June 30. They still use an analogue clock.
And for comparison, yesterday's edition, which normally on a Saturday has pre-recorded segments, but due to the Nice attack, is live throughout.
Good to see the analogue clock still being used. I recall it used to appear on the TV5 MONDE simulcasts but doesn't anymore. The simulcasts however do still exist between 5.30 and 7.00am UK time.
Couple of things with the linked Saturday's Tele Matin.
Although that is the regular theme (note - sung entirely in English) it does jar slightly with its jaunty style and then go into very heavy news mode.
The original instrumental version (which is only heard when the regular production is on reduced power, during national strikes) would have been much more suitable.
Although the news went out at 7, curious to know why the 6.30 graphic news sting was played out. They have a 7 Houres graphic. Couldn't find it in time - or someone not concentrating, or distracted maybe?

Sounds like human error as they don't normally produce a full edition on a Saturday, so naturally went for the first template. I suspect they also had the weekday crew in too.
Perhaps not surprising given he events of July, but BFM TV finished the month in the number 6 spot, right after the big analog-era broadcasters:
I wonder why BFM TV does so much better than most European news channels. Clearly, their format draws large audiences.
Its a lively format. And they seem to be fantastic at breaking news. Agile, adaptable. I always thought that BFMTV was so different than other EU broadcasters in that it seemed....lets say... a bit flashier than the staid button-up style on the other channels.
