Pascal Praud, figurehead of the CNews channel, will make his radio comeback on Europe 1, also under Vincent Bolloré, the station announced on Wednesday, a few days after his departure from RTL. The journalist who animated on RTL “The listeners have the floor” arrives on Europe 1 “from August 28. From Monday to Friday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., he will take control of ‘Pascal Praud and you’ live around all the subjects that make the news”, announced Europe 1 on Twitter. For months, the press announced it was leaving for Europe 1, radio of the Lagardère group, whose absorption by Vivendi, Vincent Bolloré’s group, has just been authorized by Brussels under conditions.
This transfer, the most important of the media transfer window this season, should further push the rapprochement between Europe 1 and CNews, which already share several headliners, such as Laurence Ferrari and Sonia Mabrouk. On June 30, Pascal Praud announced his departure from RTL live. “Life will be elsewhere, without you,” he said at the end of the last issue of the season. In “L’heure des pros” on CNews, Pascal Praud, 58, leads debates on current topics, surrounded by columnists. Before becoming the strongman of CNews, Praud was a sports journalist for a long time, notably in “Téléfoot” on TF1.
