Daphné Bürki and Europe 1, it’s over! The journalist and host ruled out a return to the grid of the Lagardère group station, which will come under the Vincent Bolloré flag in November 2023.I admire the longevity of this radio station and all the faces that have passed through it. I loved doing two hours live (in 2017/2018, editor's note) but the editorial line does not suit me“, she responded to François Saltiel this Sunday January 19, 2025 in “Cmedia”, magazine presented by Mélanie Taravant on France 5.
“I don’t correspond to the listeners of Europe 1”
“It's no surprise“, she continued. “I left Canal+ because at the time, they wanted to change my producer (in “La nouvelle édition” on C8, editor’s note). Among others, Cyril Hanouna (who today officiates on Europe 1 with “On marche sur le tête” between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m.editor’s note) was to produce me. And I didn't feel like I was following his editorial line. So I preferred to leave the ship. In the same way, when a grid is so rich in this environment, it suits me less. But I think I don't match the listeners either“, she explained.
Daphné Bürki presented “Bonjour la France” between 10 a.m. and noon on Europe 1 during the 2017/2018 season. “It was fashionable at one point. You had to stay just one year on Europe 1. We said welcome, well done, you have progressed (audiences side), goodbye“, quipped a little earlier the host of Culturebox, which will switch on June 6, 2025 from channel 14 to channel 4, abandoned by Canal+. “I'm going back to number 4, it's crazy. I'm going back home, I'm expanding the house“, she smiled. Puremédias invites you to watch the sequence of the show watched by 296,000 viewers between 12:00 p.m. and 12:58 p.m., or 2.9% of the public.

Tuesday January 14, 2025, the day after the announcement of the new numbering by Arcom, Stéphane Sitbon-Gomez, director of programs and antennas at France Télévisions, was delighted with this new situation near Puremédias. “In recent years, France 4 has been tossed around a lot, I am happy to see its future preserved. Now it's up to us to live up to the trust placed in us. We will keep the fundamentals: youth during the day and culture in the evening. We need a more readable grid, more assertive appointments and real added value. As of this morning (January 14), we start working to be ready. We are committed to returning to the Mediamat, even if the goal of France 4 is not to race for audiences“, he said.
