This Sunday, September 14, 2025, in the early evening, TMC decided to change its strategy. With the continuation of season 37 of the series The Mysteries of Love cancelled, TNT channel 10 chose to broadcast the Euro Basketball final between Turkey and Germany starting at 8 p.m.

The match was commentated by Grégoire Margotton and Nicolas Batum, the former French national basketball player. But did this broadcast have an impact on the ratings?

Exit “Les mystères de l’amour” (The Mysteries of Love), TMC empties the audience
Overall, in terms of ratings, the basketball match attracted 203,000 viewers this Sunday, September 14, 2025, between 8:01 PM and 9:52 PM, representing a 1.1% market share among those aged four and over. The channel finds itself far behind the competition.

In detail, in the slot usually occupied by the TMC soap opera, the first quarter of an hour attracted 146,000 viewers between 8:01 PM and 8:21 PM, representing a 0.8% market share among those aged four and over, including 1.6% among women purchasing managers under fifty.

The second quarter, scheduled from 8:23 p.m. to 8:48 p.m., reached 1.3% of the audience, including 2.4% of female viewers. The 8:48 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. slot, meanwhile, captured the attention of 146,000 loyal viewers, representing a 0.8% market share, including 1.4% of female purchasers under the age of fifty.

The Mysteries of Love: TMC Empty the Hall

Hélène Rollès’ departure hasn’t boosted TMC’s early-evening ratings, with results below the channel’s usual daily audience share, which stood at 2.5% this Sunday, September 14, 2025.

TMC is taking a hit, far from the usual performance of Jean-Luc Azoulay’s series. The only comfort for the TF1 group channel: audiences for commercial targets remain stable compared to the previous week, although they remain low.

Les mystères de l’amour, meanwhile, will return this Sunday, September 21, 2025, on TMC’s early-evening channel and at any time on the TF1+ platform.
