La Croix : What kind of channel will the public discover on TNT channel 18?

Christopher Baldelli: T18 is, above all, a general-interest channel. It has three cornerstones: documentaries, of which we will broadcast 3,000 hours per year; current affairs, without the news but through a debate and opinion program hosted by Matthieu Croissandeau in the 10:30 p.m. daily; and culture, notably with the weekly magazine presented on Saturday evenings by Laurent Ruquier.
