Exposémission

Exposémission is a term used in broadcast media, particularly in French-speaking regions, to describe a specific type of television or radio program. It generally refers to a show that involves a presenter or host who directly addresses the audience, often in a studio setting. These programs can cover a wide range of topics, including news, current affairs, interviews, talk shows, and cultural discussions. The core characteristic of an exposémission is its direct communication style, where the presenter acts as a guide or facilitator for the content being presented.

The format of an exposémission can vary significantly. Some shows are highly structured with predetermined segments and guests, while others may be more spontaneous, allowing for improvisation and audience interaction. The presenter's role is crucial; they are responsible for setting the tone, introducing topics, asking questions, and keeping the program flowing. The term itself, derived from "exposition" (presentation) and "émission" (program), aptly describes the nature of these shows as a form of broadcast presentation. They aim to inform, entertain, or provoke thought by directly engaging with the viewer or listener.
