End of the Health Mag on France 5: “25 people who will find themselves left behind”, Michel Cymes gives a rant

The former host of Health Magazine, broadcast every day of the week on France 5, did not hide his anger at the end of this show, which has existed since 1998.

In June 2024, the health magazine on France 5 bows out, after 25 years of broadcast. With declining audiences, the channel chose to end the program, which attracts 400,000 viewers on average according to Morandini's blog.

But the announcement of the end of the show was a blow to the morale of Michel Cymes, who co-presented the Health Mag for years. In the columns of Télé Star this Saturday, April 13, he does not hide his anger. "I take the discontinuation of the Health Magazine badlybecause it's our baby. It's been twenty-five years since it was made the historical reference show for health on TV.

Some "mess"

If the media doctor believes that the show is the victim of a "warfight", he deplores the "waste" of its shutdown. And the consequences for the people who work every day to make this show.

"I haven't presented the Health Magazine for a long time. I'm 66 years old, I'm not the future of health on TV. For the moment, we manage internally on a social level. It will still be 25 people who have worked with us for twenty-five years who will find themselves left behind", justified Michel Cymes at Télé Star.
