"Des Chiffres et Des Lettres" canceled after 52-year run

Only English-language article I could find is behind a paywall, so
this translated French one
will have to do...
A couple years after being relegated to weekends, the French TV mainstay--and inspiration for the much better-known (in the anglosphere, anyway)
Countdown
--will broadcast its final episodes this September.

I guess while we're on the topic, the UK's Channel 4 is apparently "resting" 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown, though some previously taped episodes will eventually air.

This is more "Channel 4 are in quite bad financial trouble" than 8OoTCDC isn't worth recommissioning.

For a brief time in the 90s, my cable company had a channel that carried TV5 among other international channels. So I got "Des Chiffres" along with Pyramide. A solid hour of TV. No, I don't have any tapes. But I do have the home game.
