A more beautiful life: a daily soap opera depopulated during Roland Garros

This is a match that every tennis fan is looking forward to. On May 22, the Roland Garros tournament will open in Port D’Oto. An event that will delight tennis fans who will be able to watch matches at France Télévisions throughout the day.

The community group has indeed announced the mobilization of its channels to offer viewers.Special coverage (…) from 11 a.m. to the end of the last match of the day.”

But, as they say, the happiness of some is the misfortune of others. In order to offer optimal coverage of the tournament on its antennas, France 3 will definitely schedule new episodes of Plus belle la vie between Monday 23rd and Friday 27th May.

Two weeks into this first week, France 3 will air from 19:55 to 20:40, the slot is usually reserved for Plus belle la vie episodes. The matches will be followed by the show Tout Le Sport at 20:50, which will collect reactions and return to the most beautiful moments of the day.

This is not the first time Plus belle la vie has been canceled due to the Roland Garros tournament. Fans of France 3 soap operas have also protested the software changes by launching petitions at the time, forcing France Télévisions to change the system in 2014.

From that year the switch was made to France 4 so as not to interfere with the broadcasting of Plus belle la vie. But the transfer of the Cannes Film Festival at the same time forced France Télévisions to reconsider its plans.

As for the second week of the competition, which will be held on Tuesday, May 31 through Friday, June 3, France 3 will take over the game from 19:55 if the match does not end at France 2. This means that Plus belle la vie may once again be deprogrammed.
