Michel Cymes unveils his casting of journalists
In the Infosmedia program, the former host of Health magazine on France 5 revealed that he will appear on the air: “I will have a show but it won't be 'Cymes TV'“.

As for Marina Carrère d'Encausse, its contribution remains uncertain. “She will perhaps come later, for the moment she is still on France 5“, confides the one who had formed a cult pair with the latter for 18 years in The health magazine.
