Touche pas à mon poste!
French television show
Touche pas à mon poste! (TPMP), literally "Don't Touch My Television Set!", is a French live television talk show that ran from 2010 to 2025. First broadcast on France 4, it moved to D8 (which became C8) from 2012 until the network lost its license. It was produced by H2O Productions. Hosted by Cyril Hanouna, the show was controversial, generating record sanctions of €7.6 million.
History
Hanouna created "H2O Productions" in March 2010 to produce his own TV program. In 2010 he created the talk show "TPMP" which was first broadcast on France 4. In May 2012, Touche pas à mon poste! was transferred to the new channel, D8. The program offered a new formula, with new sequences led by Camille Combal, or Bertrand Chameroy accompanied by Nicolas Bouvard and occasionally Vincent Desagnat.

Why this record matters
The phrase “french television show” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 1, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3532819. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 1 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2010, 2025 and 2012.
Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
