The wave of departures continues on BFMTV. Since the media's takeover by the CMA CGM group in the middle of summer, the editorial staff has gradually lost its historical elements. In the wake of its leaders Hervé Béroud and Marc-Olivier Fogiel, Perrine Vasque, political journalist, Candice Mahout, poached by “Bonjour!” and Bruce Toussaint on TF1, Christophe Person, head of the weather service and Julien Mielcarek, digital information delegate at BFM-RMC, took advantage of the transfer clause, triggered automatically in the event of a change of shareholder, to sail towards new horizons. Thomas Soulié, who covered political news on BFMTV for almost ten years, did the same.
From BFMTV to “Le Parisien-Aujourd’hui en France”
This Wednesday, October 30, the journalist said his goodbyes in two stages: the first time at the beginning of the afternoon at the end of Ashley Chevalier's “Dej info”, and at the end of the day when Benjamin Duhamel thanked for all these years. “I would like us to talk about an adventure that started in May 2014”launched the presenter of the 6:50 p.m. to 8 p.m. slot so that his future ex-colleague could address a few words to viewers. “It’s my last set, with a lot of emotion”had to recognize the starter, who lived “a very special day”. Sad to leave his comrade with whom he “deeply loved working”Thomas Soulié leaves “with a tight heart for other adventures”. These will lead him to the written press and the daily newspaper “Le Parisien-Aujourd'hui en France” as a senior reporter in the political department.
A final message addressed to the new bosses of the channel
In addition to Benjamin Duhamel, “someone good” in whom he sees a dazzling career, he wanted to thank, with tremolos in his voice “all the chefs who trusted me” and its teams. “At a time when nuance is poorly accepted, where facts and opinions are mixed, I find that BFMTV has a particular function of public utility”he recalled. “You are a wonderful journalist, we will miss you very much. You were my colleague, my boss and you became my friend. So thank you for everything. The entire BFMTV editorial team kisses you and good luck!”, greeted Benjamin Duhamel to conclude this farewell sequence to be found in the video above.
