Delphine Ernotte Cunci, President and CEO of France Télévisions, said: “True to our commitment to inclusion, we fought to also be the broadcaster of the Paralympic Games in order to offer the more than 4,000 Para athletes present in Paris the same level of visibility on our channels. By its unprecedented scale, the system that we will propose during this second half of Paris 2024 takes a historic step in the promotion of Para sports and will send a strong signal to society as a whole.”

Each evening of the Games from 11.00pm will be a talk show Quelle Jeux! which will be presented by Léa Salamé and Laurent Luyat. The show will highlight the best moments from the day, as well as interviews with medal winning athletes and celebrities.
