AFAIK, summer mode starts in over two weeks when the traditional 'Jockeys' take over the main news bulletins as well as Télématin across the channels.
The news set is simply too big for Télématin. One of the disadvantages is having the weather presenter sitting behind the desk to basically do a read instead of standing at the catwalk. If they can't do it from a video wall, use the CSO instead.
The 6h00 info bulletin from Franceinfo for France 2 is miles better than what is on afterwards. Their studio would suit the lifestyle breakfast show better than using the oversized studio.

Hmm. According to that article Monday had 793,000 viewers (not sure if the French take that as in total from 6.30-9 or was the peak audience total) and a 25.3% share.
The share is high enough, but not impressive if that was the total number of viewers over the show.
Not sure exactly what the problem is.
William Leymergie had a on screen presence which was friendly, but at time distant (particularly towards the end, where he could have phoned in his hosting of the show it was so tied to the Cue cards in front of him) and that is something that Laurent is having difficulty replicating.
Then, moving out of that clinical white small studio, into the carvarnous main France.2 news studio hasn't helped and its lost the closeness it used to have.
Or maybe replacing William with someone with no previous attachment to the programme, instead of promoting from within the team of reporters, hasn't helped.
If Tele Matin production goes to form from previous years, the production goes into 'Skeleton' mode for the summer, where Thierry Bicharo takes over hosting for a couple of weeks, then week by week with one of those reporters.
Maybe it's this window that will buy France 2 some time, to decide what to do and make some changes from the programmes post-summer slumber.
