the end of the tense season announces changes for the start of the school year, we take stock

MEDIA – France Inter upside down. While the shadow of the privatization of public broadcasting carried by the National Rally weighs on Radio France a few days before the early legislative elections, the season ends not without a bang for the first radio in France, since the dismissal by Guillaume Meurice.

Aymeric Lompret, Doully, GiedRé, Thomas VDB, but also the linguist Laélia Véron and before that Djamil Le Shlag… Since the announcement of the layoff then the official departure of the comedian, several of the leading personalities of the Great Sunday evening made the decision to slam the door of France Inter to demonstrate their disapproval.

With a few exceptions, like Waly Dia. The one who was widely discovered in the Charline gang reiterated, this Wednesday, June 26, his desire to remain on the air at the start of the next school year in the columns of the Parisian. For her part, Charline Vanhoenacker took advantage of the last issue of the program, Sunday June 23, to joke ironically about the “ dismantling of this show”, concomitant with that “ from the country ».

Is this the end for the comedy show, initially scheduled from Monday to Friday at the end of the day, before moving only to Sundays in September 2023? On several occasions, the Belgian host cast doubt, admitting: “ We don’t know what awaits us.”

What future for Earth squared ?

And if that was all there was to it. As revealed by several media, including Mediapartjournalists and producers have been worried since the beginning of May about the editorial shift that management would take, due to additional changes announced in the rest of France Inter’s broadcasts and the cessation of several columns.

First stop: The French-speaking bookstore. Emmanuel Khérad was thanked by the station. His show, on the air for nineteen years, is not being renewed. It must be replaced by a “ a new show on French-speaking literature in partnership with public French-speaking media”, we learn in Telerama.

If for a (short) time it was mentioned that Earth squared also stops definitively in favor of a new, more narrative science and ecology show, without reports or columns from Camille Crosnier, the program presented by Mathieu Vidard since 2019 should finally continue at the start of the school year.

And this, in the presence of its columnist. In addition to which, Camille Crosnier will continue to host The little boats, daily three-minute format on a question asked by a child. Presented from Monday to Friday, the program will extend until Saturday.

So far, so good stop

On the other hand, the end clap for So far, so good. « Despite all the nananinanana which are annoying but not too much when you don’t read them; It’s been a great year where I LOVED my job,” commented Marie Misset on X (formerly Twitter) in mid-June.

Launched in September 2023, the show succeeded It’s us again by Charline Vanhoenacker from 5 to 6 p.m. Monday to Friday. Its promise, that of giving a voice to those who are committed to a better world, did not seem to convince the listeners: until March 2024, it brought together an average of 584,000 listeners per broadcast , where the Charline gang brought together more than 760,000 faithful in the same box at the start of the 2022-23 season.

This first and only season has not been easy for So far, so good which, three months after its launch, witnessed the departure of one of its columnists Maïa Mazaurette, also known for officiating at Dailyand the replacement of The annoying questionchronicle in the form of a very provocative interview with a specialist.

Matthieu Noël spreads out

A cancellation from which Matthieu Noël will benefit. At the start of the next school year, his show Zoom Zoom Zen will recover Marie Misset’s slot and thus gain an additional daily hour, during which he should host a new humor and current affairs program with comedians from the current scene, according to The Parisian. The former Europe 1 will also continue to officiate in the morning for a humorous segment, as during this season.

Not everyone will meet such a fate. Benoît Lagane, who every Sunday at 6:53 a.m. holds the column Series time, is thanked. Same story for Charline Roux (In the France Inter playlist, every morning), Charlotte Perry (French lives) and Antoine Chao (It’s almost tomorrow). An eviction which illustrates a more general movement targeting reporting, according to Telerama. Management has two months to install its new grid. And almost as much to ease tensions. The counter is started.
