Not a day goes by without an account X belonging to an “insider” or a personality known for following the latest transfer news posting an “Exclusive” with an emoji representing an alarm to make their audience understand the importance of their information.
The transfer of Victor Osimhen to Paris-SG? Adrien Rabiot to AS Monaco? Memphis Depay in Italy? No, the arrival of Benjamin Castaldi on the airwaves of Europe 2 with a new show Casta wakes up France from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. Because yes, every summer, especially in June, the schedules for the next radio seasons are made and unmade and each station, depending on its audiences, tries to steal the best hosts from the competition in order to build a “task force” on the airwaves.
So, since Monday, August 26, the new voices have taken their place and the first listeners have been able to familiarize themselves with the latest movements. Because Benjamin Castaldi is not the only newcomer of this radio season, and lovers of morning shows have been able to see the summer adjustments.
For example, on France Inter, Patrick Cohen made his big comeback with his 7:42 political editorial, he who presented the Inter morning show between 2010 and 2017.
Guillaume Meurice live on Radio Nova
A return that is conjugated in the plural since the first morning show in France also saw the comeback of Charline Vanhoenacker at 9:45 a.m., she who officiated last year on Sunday with a band show, Great Sunday evening. A band that fell apart… following the departure of Guillaume Meurice, dismissed by his management following his comments on Benyamin Netanyahou on several occasions.
A Guillaume Meurice that we will finally find on the airwaves, in the company of former troublemakers from Inter, since he will work on Radio Nova, every Sunday, live from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., in “La Dernière”, in the company of Aymeric Lompret, Juliette Arnaud and Pierre-Emmanuel Barré. A sacred four of Aces who will flirt with the limits. “Since we understood that freedom of expression was above all a nice concept, we said to ourselves that it was better to imagine each show as if it were the last,” declares Guillaume Meurice in the press kit formalizing his arrival on Nova.
For its part, France Inter includes the unclassifiable Philippe Katerine for a mood piece, on Thursdays at 8:55 a.m., in its morning show. The 7/10.
Another personality who finds a show: Valérie Damidot. The former TF1 presenter now works every lunchtime on France Bleu with On the ball!, in tandem with Eric Bastien. Valérie Damidot will bring her style, her humor and her good nature to a box where listeners will compete on general knowledge questions.
For its part, RTL has also experienced some major changes. With the departure of Flavie Flament to France 2 to host Telematinthe station had anticipated by betting on Faustine Bollaert, who for several weeks has been hosting a show called HeroMonday to Friday from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m., which focuses on ordinary people to whom extraordinary things happen.
On the morning show, the departure of Yves Calvi was compensated by the return to RTL of Thomas Sotto who, with Amandine Bégot, will host the 7 am/10 am slot from Monday to Friday. A morning show that will include new appointments such as The Not So Stupid Question by Florian Gazan at 9:05 a.m. Yves Calvi, who officiated in the morning, will be able to resume a normal sleep rhythm since he inherits the 6 p.m./7 p.m. slot with Agnès Bonfillon.
Hanouna continues on Europe 1
On the side of the music radio station RTL2, which will be celebrating its thirtieth anniversary, the legendary show by Francis Zégut has been brought back to the forefront, Burn the Tangoin order to revisit the golden age of hard rock through digital radio.
Launched in June in the wake of the legislative elections, Cyril Hanouna’s show on Europe 1, We are walking on our headsdespite numerous warnings from Arcom, the audiovisual policeman, has been renewed and will be broadcast every day between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. before the big mass on C8 with TPMP. Europe 1 continues to put its C8 faces on the airwaves since Pascale de La Tour du Pin will host Europe 1 Evening Weekend at 7 p.m.
At Sud Radio, we will find a regular morning show host as Jean-Jacques Bourdin will once again present a morning show (7-9 am), a first since he left RMC in 2020. RMC, for its part, is making marginal adjustments and is instead strengthening its sure values with the return of Matthieu Belliard, the station where he started, to join Apolline de Malherbe’s morning show, whom he will replace during her vacation. Pierre-Antoine Damecour, well known to fans of Chaîne l’Équipe, is joining Estelle Denis’s band during the midday slot.
Enough to give everyone something to fight for in the audience battle, the first figures of which should be released in the fall.
