Following the sudden disappearance of Catherine Ringer on September 14, 2026, France Télévisions made changes to its programming schedule on Wednesday, September 16, 2026. The French public broadcaster announced plans for a special evening dedicated to honoring the life and legacy of Catherine Ringer, who was a co-founder of the influential French music duo Rita Mitsouko. Rita Mitsouko was a prominent French musical group known for blending pop, rock, and electronic music with poetic lyrics. Catherine Ringer, along with her partner and collaborator, was a key figure in the French music scene for decades. The group gained international recognition for hits like “Le Temps des Cathédrales” and “La Chanson des Vieux Amants.” The special evening will feature performances, interviews, and archival footage highlighting Catherine Ringer’s contributions to music and culture. France Télévisions has invited artists, friends, and colleagues of Ringer to participate in the event, which aims to celebrate her artistic journey and personal impact. The decision to restructure programming comes amid widespread public interest and concern following Ringer’s disappearance. Authorities have not yet provided an official explanation for her absence, and the event is seen as a way to keep her memory alive while the investigation continues.
