“Anne Seften will no longer return to the air and has left the company,” the news channel confirmed on Tuesday, November 5, 2024. She specifies that “an internal procedure was initiated a few weeks ago and produced its conclusions. This internal procedure was carried out by the human resources department and the social affairs department with respect for everyone's privacy and with a concern for the protection of employees.
