He was strongly expected, it is now acquired. According to a press release from France Inter this Monday morning, confirming information from the “Figaro”, Benjamin Duhamel will join public radio, and more specifically the morning currently hosted by Nicolas Demorand and Léa Salamé. Next season, from Monday to Thursday, he will take control of the 7:50 am interview, previously provided by Sonia Devillers, who will embody a “company” interview at 9 am at the start of the school year.
This arrival on the first station in France does not mean its departure from BFMTV. After procrastination, Benjamin Duhamel finally decided to keep his daily life within the continuous news channel, despite the requests from France Télévisions. He will stop, on the other hand, “it’s not every day on Sunday”, his Sunday program.
BFMTV relief
With his house station, RMC, his current employer therefore agreed that her 30 -year -old journalist will see elsewhere radio. “Calvi has long done by being on BFMTV and at the head of the morning of RTL,” said internally.
This news is a relief for BFMTV, which was fighting to keep its rising star. Scheduled in daily life at 7 p.m., its program “Everyone wants to know” has brought an average of 375,000 faithful this season, or 2.3 % of the public. At this time, Benjamin Duhamel is clearly preceded by Christine Kelly on CNews and her 646,000 fans (4 % audience shares).
By staying in BFMTV, Benjamin Duhamel joins the list of headliners kept by the future Canal 13, from Apolline de Malherbe to Olivier Truchot and Alain Marschall, without forgetting Christophe Delay and Maxime Switek.
Changes in his grid are however to be expected, with the likely arrival of Dominique Tenza and Perrine Storme At the head of his morning on weekdays and Marc Faugle at 10 a.m. Without forgetting the weekend, where the morning should now be embodied by Lorène de Susbielle, accompanied by Damien Gourlet.
