TF1 on BBC Parliament

Sarkozy v Royal.

France Decides
Sun 6 May, 6:55 pm - 9:00 pm 125mins

Live coverage from the TF1 channel in Paris of the exit poll and first indications of the result in the final round of France's Presidential Election. Broadcast in French.

Odd they're going for TF1 it was France 2 for the first round.

A real orgy of election coverage this weekend...local elections Thursday night (and the option to watch BBC Scotland on Parliament if you're not already able to watch it on BBC1), French on Sunday night and re-run of 1997 on Monday BBC Parliament!

The France 2 coverage may be on TV5 on Sky - they showed the first round show.

I still don't get this... Do many Britons understand French?

You tend to get an uncropped picture on TV5 unlike on BBC Parliament, if the first rounds vote night is anything to go by.

It's native coverage ... which is good to see.

Well, coverage from TF1 lasted for about 2 minutes before suddenly switching to France2 coverage. Odd.

Agreed - Odd

That does sound odd - although BBC Parliament was always scheduled to show France 2's coverage tonight - not TF1's.

If you want to see some more native coverage - these should keep you going all night...

TF1
France 2
France 3
LCI (TF1's 24-hour news channel)
BFM TV (24-hour news channel)
I-Tele (Canal +'s News channel - but link doesn't always work)
France 24 (French)
France 24 (English)

It's TF1 on the DTT EPG though.

There's a commercial break now and BBC Parliament have a still slide up showing both the TF1 and France 2 logos.
