Philippe Katerine, Fabrice Luchini, Théo Curin, Nolwenn Leroy, Cyril Hanouna… what's changing on TV and radio

Théo Curin incarnera désormais le jeu Slam sur France 3. MAXPPP – Fred Dugit

Le mercato bat son plein en cette période de rentrée, en bouleversant jour après jour les grilles de programmes de la télévision et de la radio. Suivez le guide !

Tour d’horizon des principaux changements, en cette période de rentrée, dans le paysage audiovisuel français.

France 2

It's Julien Arnaud, a defector from TF1-LCI who takes Thomas Sotto's place at the head of “Télématin”.

Marie Portolano is replaced by Flavie Flament. Raphaël de Casabianca is giving up presenting “Rendez-vous en terre inconnue”.

The Héraultais Frédéric Lopez, producer of the show, has chosen the former Miss France Laury Thilleman to succeed him in 2025.

Cyril Féraud is replacing Jarry in “Tout le monde veut prendre sa place”.

France 3

The disabled swimmer Théo Curin is replacing Cyril Féraud in Slam.

The 8pm news will now extend to one hour. The Languedoc soap opera Un si grand soleil will therefore move on September 9 from France 2 to France 3, where it will inherit the former slot of Plus belle la vie.

France 5

Exit, in “C à vous”, the humorous segment Les Radoteurs with Stéphane de Groodt and Gilles Gaston-Dreyfus, replaced by the column of two fake editorial assistants of “C à vous” who dream of glory, with guests like Michel Cymès and Louise Bourgoin.

It's the end of an era for “Le Magazine de la santé”: after 26 years of hosting the show, Marina Carrère d'Encausse is replaced by Jimmy Mohamed. She will officiate once a month on the show “Enquête de santé”.

TF1

It's one of the surprises of the new school year: Jean-Pierre Foucault is back in action: at 76, he will co-host the show “Gladiators” with Denis Brogniart and Hélène Mannarino.

The columnist Alba Ventura (ex-RTL) joins Bruce Toussaint in the morning show “Bonjour!”. Arthur will celebrate, from September 20, the 25th anniversary of another cult program “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire”.

On the fiction side, Nolwenn Leroy will be one of the new faces of TF1 series. The singer plays the lead role in Brocéliande, launched on September 16.

M6

“My recipe is the best in France” is the new cooking show on M6 (Monday to Friday at 6:30 p.m.) with, in particular, Aveyron native Cyril Lignac.

Laëtitia Milot takes the reins of “Meilleur pâtissier”, replacing Marie Portolano.

After “Le Juste prix”, M6 also continues to surf on nostalgia by resurrecting the emblematic “Que le meilleur gagne”, co-hosted by Philippe Lellouche and Anne-Sophie Girard, a host who grew up between Lodève and Montpellier.

C8

Cyril Hanouna returned to the air on Monday, September 2 in “Touche pas at my post” (TPMP) at 6:50 p.m. It will remain on C8, a priori at least until February 28, the date on which the channel will lose its TNT frequency, following the Arcom verdict, after notably 7.6 million euros in cumulative fines.

He will also be present on Saturdays and Sundays at 7:10 p.m., starting tomorrow, September 7, in a recorded show.

It's over, however, for “PAF”, which preceded TPMP: Pascale de la Tour du Pin remains on the air but with “Pascale, Éric, Yann and the others”, alongside Éric Naulleau and Yann Moix.

Public Sénat

The former star of TF1's 8 p.m. news Claire Chazal takes over the presentation of “Au bonheur des livres”, succeeding Guillaume Durand, on Fridays at 11 p.m.

LCI

Anne Nivat, journalist and wife of Alésien Jean-Jacques Bourdin, arrives on LCI. She hosts a debate show every Friday and Saturday from 10 p.m. to midnight. Darius Rochebin takes over this slot the rest of the week.

BFMTV

Benjamin Duhamel is promoted this fall on BFMTV, where he is entrusted with the 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. slot (succeeding Yves Calvi, who left for RTL). He thus finds himself “in competition” with his partner Agathe Lambret, who officiates from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. with Jean-Rémi Baudot on Franceinfo.

Eric Brunet, back on BFMTV, takes over from 8 p.m., where he will face Pascal Praud on CNews. Alain Duhamel, he announces, is starting his last season.

For BFMTV, which sees its leadership challenged by the Bolloré group's news channel, the main revolution is taking place behind the scenes. Marc-Olivier Fogiel and Hervé Béroud leave the management, replaced by the duo Fabien Namias (ex-LCI) and Jean-Philippe Baille (who arrives from Radio France).

An earthquake for the channel that has just passed from the hands of Patrick Drahi to those of the shipowner Rodolphe Saadé.

France Inter

Exit “Le Grand dimanche soir”, between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. with the media “Charline gang”, collateral victim of the Guillaume Meurice affair.

Charline Vanhoenacker will now intervene solo every morning, for three short minutes, at 9:40 a.m. Mathieu Noël, in addition to his morning column, sees his show “Zoom zen zoom” extended by one hour (4 p.m.-6 p.m.).

Patrick Cohen presents the political editorial at 7:44 a.m., replacing the head of France Inter's political service Yaël Goosz. The station will also now welcome, every Thursday, at 8:55 a.m., the singer Philippe Katerine, who arrived naked during his premiere on August 29, in a nod to the song sung during the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

Another choice take: Fabrice Luchini will share his “Literary Admirations” on Sunday, at 7:20 p.m. Lilia Hassaine, former columnist for “Quotidien” on TMC, will present a literature program on Saturdays at 2 p.m. to replace “La librairie francophone”.

France Culture

The radio station is recruiting Arte news anchor Marie Labory from Monday to Friday from 12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. to host “Les Midis de culture”.

France bleu

Valérie Damidot is launching into radio with “Au cleat!” every day between noon and 1 p.m.

On Saturdays, same slot, Willy Rovelli invites himself to lunch, in our regions. FIP Laurent Garnier becomes the first resident DJ of the radio every first Saturday of the month, at the end of the evening.

RTL

Thomas Sotto now wakes up RTL listeners in place of Yves Calvi (who takes over the 6-8 p.m. slot). Her challenge: to get back on the heels of France Inter, which dethroned the former No. 1 radio station.

Faustine Bollaert takes over the slot left free by Flavie Flament to highlight “Heroes”. Antoine Leiris replaces Bernard Lehut (who has retired) for a cultural show, “Let yourself be tempted”, every Sunday from 9:15 to 10 a.m.

Europe 1

Cyril Hanouna, who hosted “On marche sur la tête” in the middle of the legislative campaign, is back this fall, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Sophie Davant, former occupant of the box, inherits the weekend with “Histoires d’amour extraordinaires” (from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m.).

Europe 2

Benjamin Castaldi takes the reins of “Casta réveil la France”, between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. Sud Radio Jean-Jacques Bourdin from Alès replaces Patrick Roger (who takes the next slot) at the head of the morning show (7am-9am).

Radio Nova

Recomposition of dissolved league: Guillaume Meurice, Aymeric Lompret and Juliette Arnaud bounce back on Radio Nova.

The first having been fired by France Inter, the other two have been united. They are joined by another ex-comedian from France Inter, Pierre-Emmanuel Barré from the Cevennes. The show is called “The Last”, every Sunday from 6pm to 8pm. The premiere is this Sunday.
