It is in the room Lagardère, a room with walls covered by photos of old glories of the station (Ivan Levaï, Etienne Mougeotte, Jean Boissonnat…) usually reserved for meetings, as Richard Lenormand, deputy director of Europe 1, has presented this morning (Monday) to press the edges of the new grid Europe 1. A grid set up in the urgency by the new boss of the station named in December to curb the disturbing drop in audience that knows Europe 1 since several months. Last November, Médiamétrie credited the station of 6.6% audience share. His worst back to school since 2002. the “The first objective is now to stabilise, said Richard Lenormand. Then, it will consolidate and move up”.
The decision is the most spectacular one is undoubtedly the sidelining of Jean-Pierre Elkabbach. A 79-year-old, one that many observers called them”indéboulonnable” was abruptly ejected from his chair interviewer policy. A chair he held since 1996. He is replaced by Fabien Namias, who was until now the director general of the station. The future of “JPE” within Europe 1 remains today uncertain. This morning (Monday), the management of Europe 1 ensured that the journalist would be alive and well on the grid for the weekend. However, the site PureMédias said a few hours later that “JPE” was in negotiations for a final departure. If he was asked to leave the rue François 1er, he might have already found a drop-off point. The corridors of Canal Plus group rustle, in fact, rumours of his imminent arrival. Either as a special adviser to Vincent Bolloré. Either as interviewer on the future i-TELE (soon to be called CNews). “For us, it is inconsistent that it is on the two antennas”, has already indicated that Richard Lenormand.
The last morning of Jean-Pierre Elkabbach, 16 December, 2016.
For the rest, the magazine of fact various of Christophe Hondelatte, “Hondelatte tell”, is moved to the beginning of the afternoon (13.15-14h). Helena Morna is entrusted with the controls of a new show “Hello Europe 1″ (10h-12h). As for the “Grand direct media” presented by Thomas Joubert, it will now be broadcast from 9 to 10 am. Recruited at the end of last season, the host Alessandra Sublet, to a great difficulty in the face of the “Big heads” of Laurent Ruquier, saw his air-time shortcut. His show, “the great Court”, will begin now, at 15.30 to end at 17h “We have decided to keep Alessandra said Nathalie André, program director of the station. For it has a chance to take off “.
The “case” of Jean-Marc Morandini, made the gap of the antenna since her indictment last September for “corruption of a minor, aggravated”, has also been mentioned. the “For the time being, it is suspended antenna, recalled Richard Lenormand. He still has a contract with us.” Jean-Marc Morandini, who must also be one of the future faces of the chain of continuous information CNews, could it be both an employee of the groupe Canal + and Europe 1 ? the “We will see when it will air”, has swept Mr. Lenormand.
“This is a beautiful grid, concluded Nathalie André. I wish that we all go back to the hearings“. The verdict is expected in the spring with the next wave of Médiamétrie, traditionally published in April.
