On February 29, 2024, Patrick Bruel was with listeners and the VivaCité teams in Brussels, Mons and Liège to celebrate the 20th anniversary of your favorite radio station. The opportunity to review the best moments in its history: its launch in 2004, the creation of Cactus and the Choir Children in 2010, the launch of Viva for Life in 2013 or even the marriage of Meryl and Claudio in 2012, two listeners in love who got married thanks to VivaCité.
In this new documentary, Patrick Bruel will make you relive this marathon day minute by minute behind the scenes. From his arrival at RTBF at 6:45 a.m., his marathon of RTBF broadcasts including a special public broadcast in Mons, to the apotheosis at the Forum in Liège with a big show in front of 1,800 VivaCité listeners. Our cameras followed Patrick Bruel behind the scenes until 11:30 p.m. so as not to miss anything of this day full of challenges and surprises.
Your favorite presenters will also tell you the success story of VivaCité, announced as an industrial disaster in 2004 but quickly became the favorite radio station of French-speaking Belgians. You will find unpublished archives and the best moments of emotion and complicity shared with you for 20 years.
