Arcom was alerted to a segment of the Soir Info program, shown on CNews on June 26, 2023, devoted to the implosion of the exploration submarine "Titan". A document, supposedly from the US Navy, was presented as evidence of the sound waves emitted at the time of the accident, when in fact it corresponded to a recording of seismic data.

The Authority noted that the channel had explicitly rectified its error and apologized to viewers.

It nevertheless reminded the channel of the obligations set out in article 1 of the deliberation of April 18, 2018 relating to the honesty and independence of news and the programs that contribute to it.
