Radio Nova’s flagship show “La Derniere”, relocated to Toulouse at the La Cabane performance hall in the Halles de la Cartoucherie, which took place on Sunday November 17 at 6 p.m. live, was sold out to a full house.
A few minutes to warm up the spirits, Sunday November 17 before 6 p.m., with a series of deadpan remarks, grating but not only, laughter and immediately the mayonnaise sets. Sustained applause from the Toulouse public, visibly won over in advance, who filled the performance hall inaugurated in September, La Cabane located in the Halles de la Cartoucherie, the eco-district of Toulouse. It was the first time that Radio Nova’s flagship show “La Derniere” relocated its satirical live broadcast to the Pink City, which has a large number of listeners.
It is hosted by Guillaume Meurice, who, after being dismissed from France Inter, did not hesitate to choose the radio which “is the fourth most listened to, on Sunday evening, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.”, confides the director by Radio Nova Frédéric Antelme. At his side, a trio armed for repartee who claims free expression: Juliette Arnaud, Aymeric Lompret and Pierre-Emmanuel Barré.
“540,000 listeners on Sunday evening”
It’s at least “540,000 listeners who listen on Sunday, that’s 880% for us”, enthuses Frédéric Antelme. Toulouse was chosen because it is “one of the cities in which Radio Nova is most listened to in France, in particular thanks to its Dab + frequency. As there is currently a call to obtain frequencies, we tries to position itself. The latest results from Médiamétrie give us an audience point.”
“Toulouse, legendary city…”

On the broadcast side, this is coming from all sides. But as “The Last One” was in Toulouse, Guillaume Meurice launched the live broadcast “in this legendary city: Claude Nougaro, the Fabulous Trobadors, BigFlo and Oli, the Knights of the Fiel. Well, to put it like that, it’s a bit of an accident to car in slow motion (laughs). Nova’s audience figures have been multiplied by approximately 4 billion….” The link that connects the animators to the Pink City? “My mother,” replies Juliette Arnaud. “Sacred bond who lives half the year in Toulouse.” “And maybe she’s in the room, but we respect it,” responds Guillaume Meurice. This is how the games go for two hours of “total freedom”.
The microphone cartoonists spared no one locally: Jean-Luc Moudenc, the cassoulet, the oval ball, the local press imagined with “a beret and a baguette under the arm and above all who notes everything”, slips Aymeric Lompret. As normal, the show is broadcast live from L’Européen, a theater adjacent to Place de Clichy in Paris. This is where the band operates alongside guests who are sometimes funny, grating, sometimes serious, sometimes a bit of both, such as Thomas VDB, GiedRé, Arnaud Aymard, Johann Chapoutot, Aurélien Bellanger.
