“An internal procedure has reached its conclusions”: Anne Seften, presenter of LCI since 2021, “will no longer return to the air”

She will no longer appear on channel 26 of TNT. Anne Seften, who presented “Le Club Seften” every afternoon, a news segment broadcast from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. from Monday to Thursday, “will no longer return to the air and has left the company“, indicates the news channel to Puremédias this Tuesday, November 5, 2024, confirming information from media blogger Clément Garin and “TV Magazine”.

“An internal procedure started a few weeks ago”

The channel specifies that this departure follows a “internal procedure started a few weeks ago” Who “delivered its conclusions“. This procedure, “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“, would have been started following the 30th anniversary evening of the TF1 group's news channel, which took place on September 19. According to information collected by Clément Garin, which he shared on October 3 , the journalist would have “slapped, under the influence of alcohol” his editor-in-chief of channel 26 against the backdrop of a private dispute.

Bénédicte Le Chatelier temporarily back in the box

Anne Seften's last appearance on LCI dates back to Thursday October 24. His segment was then handled by Thomas Misrachi during the week of October 28 and surprise, it was Bénédicte Le Chatelier, who left the channel this summer, who took the reins of “Club info” at 3 p.m. this Monday, November 5 , and for the whole week. The name of the person who will ultimately take over the tranche is not yet known, confides LCI.
