Le Grand Journal is a French nightly news and talk show airing every weekday evening from 19:10 to 20:20 on Canal+. It debuted on August 30, 2004 and was created and hosted by Michel Denisot. Then hosted by Antoine de Caunes. Then hosted by Maïtena Biraben. Since 2016, it is hosted by Victor Robert. Originally a one-hour program, it expanded to two hours in 2005. Even though the show is broadcast on the premium channel Canal+, this is a non-encrypted program.
The program features news, talk, weather and comedy. The program is produced by KM Productions for Canal+ and broadcast from the Studios Rive Gauche on Quai André-Citroën in Paris.
Created in 2004 by producer-director Renaud Le Van Kim, the show was originally composed of one block broadcast from 19:05 to 19:55, usually live except on Fridays. The show benefitted from audiences from all of Canal+'s free time slots watching, in addition to the extension of Digital terrestrial television, which allowed new households access to the channel. The show took up the time slot initially reserved for the show 20 h 10 pétantes (French for "20:10 sharp") at the beginning of the 2005 season; Since then, Stéphanie Bern's show has only been diffused on Fridays and Saturdays, under the name Vendredi pétantes et Samedi pétantes. The second part was then titled Le Grand Journal, la suite and was broadcast from 20:10 to 20:40. Since September 2011, La Suite was broadcast from 20:30 to 20:55.
During season 9, La Suite was copresented by Michel Denisot and Daphné Bürki. The show lost 13% of their audience, which it blamed on the fact that it was played at the same time as C à vous on France 5, Vous êtes en direct on NRJ 12, and Touche pas à mon poste on D8.
On June 6, 2013, Michel Denisot announced that he would quit the show after 9 years at the head of the talk-show. On June 17, 2013, the name of the new presenter was announced to be Antoine de Caunes. He was a former presenter on Canal+ from 1987 to 1995 participating in the success of the show Nulle part ailleurs then at the César Award presentation ceremony.
