I have a question, once the strike does indeed end, will the owners speed up the rebrand to CNews or will they drop it entirely for a period of time?
Nobody knows. Canal+ could have relauched the channel today with the new branding with the same loop of docs, but decided not to. Clearly the situation with the new presenter needs resolving before they can even consider a rebrand.
The other issue is that the person in charge of the company placed the presenter in by stealth as he's a friend of his. The staff are concerned of editorial interference from Canal+ of which this presenter who has criminal charges against him is only the start of changes of more than just a new name and fancy graphics.

i>TELE's strike has been extended until 1030 CET on Tuesday. Today was supposed to be the relaunch as CNEWS, however for obvious reasons, the old brand is still in use today with the same loop of docs.
