Non Stop facts for kids

Non Stop is a French TV news show on BFMTV. It's like a continuous news channel that brings you the latest news all day long. You can find national and international news, along with sports, business, and weather updates. When it first started, it was a unique show that only displayed images and videos, without any presenters talking on screen.

How Non Stop Started

Non Stop began in 2005, right when the BFMTV channel launched. At first, it was a program focused on important news. It aired on weekdays for many hours, from 9:30 AM to 6 PM. It also broadcast all weekend. The show's format was simple: it only showed news and weather updates. There were no presenters or anchors on screen at all.

Presenters Join the Show

In May 2006, the show's schedule changed. The "images-only" format was now only for weekends. On weekdays, Non Stop started having presenters. This meant people would be on screen to talk about the news. The show's format also got an update. News was shared every 15 minutes, and weather updates were replayed every half-hour.

In January 2007, the show's presenter shifts were updated again. It now had two main presenters. One presenter worked from 9:30 AM to 2 PM, and another took over from 2 PM to 6 PM.

More Changes and New Teams

Over the next few years, Non Stop kept changing. More presenters joined, and the show's hours shifted. Sometimes, the weekend "images-only" blocks were interrupted by presenters too.

In May 2008, a big change happened. Non Stop started using a two-presenter format for its main weekday editions. This meant two people would host the show together.

By September 2008, the main team of presenters for Non Stop was completely changed. Different presenters took over the morning and afternoon slots. Also, the evening hours (from 6 PM to midnight) no longer aired Non Stop. Other news shows took its place during those times.

Expanding and Shifting Hours

In January 2010, the afternoon Non Stop show moved its start time. It now ran from 2 PM to 5 PM. This happened because other news programs on BFMTV were expanding or starting.

By March 2010, the weekend Non Stop shows added more than just news and weather. They started including different segments, like reviews of the day's newspapers in the morning.

Later in 2010, presenters on BFMTV swapped their shifts. This meant new faces were hosting Non Stop in the mornings and afternoons. The afternoon show also went back to its usual time, from 3 PM to 6 PM.

New Shows and Weekend Focus

In September 2011, BFMTV made a big change to Non Stop. Instead of broadcasting for half the day without presenters, it became part of several shows with specific hosts. This included new weekend shows like Week-End Première and Non Stop Week-End with different teams of presenters.

By August 2012, more changes happened to the presenter teams for both weekday and weekend Non Stop shows. New presenters joined, and some moved to different roles.

In September 2014, the morning Non Stop Week-End show was made longer. This was because another weekend show was cancelled. New teams also started presenting the weekend afternoon show.

In September 2015, the teams for Non Stop Week-End shifted again. Different pairs of presenters hosted the morning and afternoon blocks.

In September 2016, a live political show called BFM Politique started airing on Sundays. It would cut into the Non Stop Week-End broadcast for a couple of hours.

Recent Changes (2017)

In 2017, there were four main changes to Non Stop:

• One of the presenters took time off for maternity leave, and another presenter filled in for her.
• A new presenter joined the afternoon Non Stop Week-End show.
• A long-time presenter left BFMTV. As a result, a former afternoon anchor became the new weekend morning anchor.
• This anchor also started presenting a new hour-long magazine show. Because of this, the afternoon Non Stop Week-End show became shorter, airing only from 3 PM to 5 PM.
