13 heures

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

13 heures, originally 13 heures, le journal, is France 2's afternoon news program, seen weekdays at 1PM ("13 heures").

This France 2 news program is seen opposite the similarly-named news program on commercial broadcaster TF1, TF1 13 Heures, which has twice the viewership of France 2's program. As a result, France 2's 13 heures has seen a frequent turnover of news anchors for the program -- 15 in the last ten years.

13 heures is currently anchored by Elise Lucet. However, her substitute anchor, Françoise Laborde, is filling in while Elise is on maternity leave; Elise is expected to return in May 2007.
