How is the TV station that broadcasts the show selected ?
Each year, the Restos du Coeur launch a call for bids for selecting the TV station that will broadcast the Enfoirés show. They send this call for bids in the fall to all the stations and make their selection according to the following three criteria : The time allocated to the activities of the Restos du Cœur. The amount of the additional payment. The time allocated to the promotion of the CD and the DVD. In 2009, the Restos du Cœur selected TF1 because the station offered to broadcast short reports on the association’s various actions throughout three weeks, in addition to a debate after the concert with officials from the association. Moreover, it made a donation proportional to the advertisement profits during the show.
