Le Petit Journal is a French news and entertainment television program that airs every weekday on Canal+, presented by Cyrille Eldin. It was hosted by journalist Yann Barthès from its beginnings in 2004 through to June 2016. The program initially aired as a segment of Le Grand Journal until 2011, when it became a separate program. Eldin took over the show after Barthès left Canal+ to start a new programme on TF1 named Quotidien.
In the Yann Barthès era, Le Petit Journal featured several regular contributors. Martin Weill was the programme's envoyé spécial, or special correspondent, delivering reports from around the world. The show also featured several comedy acts. Comedians Éric Metzger and Quentin Margot appeared in topical sketches based on events in the news. Alex Lutz and Bruno Sanchez appeared in a section titled La revue de presse de Catherine et Liliane playing a pair of middle-aged women working in the office of Le Petit Journal . The rapper-comedians Orelsan and Gringe appeared in a series of comedy shorts, Bloqués. Only Catherine et Liliane continued on the show after Barthès left, while much of the rest of the team joined Barthès on his new show, Quotidien.
On 9 May 2016 it was announced that Yann Barthès would be leaving the show after 23 June 2016. On the same day the TF1 Group announced that it had recruited Barthès to present two new programmes: a daily show on its channel TMC and a weekly show on the TF1 channel. The future of Le Petit Journal was uncertain; the owner of Canal+, Vincent Bolloré, had earlier demanded that the show reduce its production costs, and had suggested that it be removed from the network's free-to-air programming and made available only to the network's paying subscribers. Canal+ later announced that Barthès would be replaced as presenter of Le Petit Journal by Cyrille Eldin.
