Marc Fauvelle joins BFMTV, the editorial staff « Sanded » by the announcement – Liberation
Spring are always hectic to France Inter. This time, the information, which circulated all weekend thanks to a transfer window paper Parisiansurprised a lot of people internally. Before being formalized Monday morning: the director of information of the station, Marc Faugle, will soon join BFMTV. He will animate a « New information meeting » Still indefinite, confirmed the chain in a press release. This is an opportunity to return to the antenna for the 48 -year -old journalist who was in the morning of France Info for five years.
« There is amazing, it was not even two years since he was there, reacts a member of the editorial staff of France Inter. And there is also anger, to see these people climbing while the public audiovisual is in the eye of the cyclone. ” A reference to Reformation project carried by Rachida Datiwhose text is included in the parliamentary agenda for April 10. According to our information, the Unions of Radio France will make a strike notice on April 1 to signify their opposition to this project. For his part, in writing committee, Monday at 3 p.m. Monday, Marc Faugle justified his choice to leave the station by a certain exhaustion in a role of director of information which did not suit him so much, and by the desire to take over the antenna with the 2027 presidential election in the viewfinder.
In BFMTV, he will especially find his former boss in France Info, Jean-Philippe Baille, now information director of the RMC-BFM group. The director general of BFMTV, Fabien Namias, rejoiced in a press release from the arrival of a « Solid landmark » with a « Great presenter’s experience » and a « Fine knowledge of news ». The recruitment of Marc Faugle is part of an offensive of the news channel to debum new incarnations, in the wake of his Affairs by the Marseille billionaire Rodolphe Saadé. A transfer clause (a mechanism that allows journalists to leave their business with compensation in the event of a change of shareholder), opened in the fall, had thus led from several leaders and antenna figures. An all -round recruitment operation – for a channel that saw CNews pass it in front of the audience level – which should continue to animate the TV transfer window in the coming weeks.
The boss of France Inter, Adèle Van Reeth, learned the news of Marc Faugle’s departure by inquiring with him of his opinion on the transfer of another member of the Management: Jonathan Curiel. Director of the station’s programs for barely a year, the latter announced Friday to resume the reins of the RTL group radios. In reality, this is a return: the 44 -year -old leader had done this most of his career in the M6 group, in Paris Première then at the M6 programs management, before joining the public station in March 2024. He will therefore have the heavy task of trying to reassemble the audiences of RTL, past third station behind France Info, while integrating as well as possible (if his arrival is maintained) Cyril Hanouna. Group journalists said they would be « Vigilant » As for the potential drifts of the animator on their antennas.
At the Directorate of France Inter, we mention a « Collective fairly sounded » After these announcements, but also « serene », recalling that the station saw others, especially during the combined departures, in 2017, The Emmanuel Perreau programs and morning programs Patrick Cohen for Europe 1. Transfers that had not started the continuous increase in Inter hearings. Adèle Van Reeth is now going to replace the two starters. The current director of the editorial staff, Rémi Sulmont, and his assistant, Anne Soëtemondt, will ensure the interim for the Information Department.
In the editorial staff, we fear a new hiring from the private sector: « There is a certain fatigue of these external recruitments to Radio France, with this idea that recruited people would be better than the solutions that could have internally, explains a member of the editorial staff. These are people that we must train in our working methods, and for whom Radio France is a step in their careers. They leave and are not there to defend us. In the meantime, it is the basis, the editorial staff, which holds the barracks. ” On the programs side, Adèle Van Reeth will also have to bire in the coming weeks on the next return to school grid, with some question points around the morning in particular. The opportunity for new turmoil?
