This is the third star journalist that BFM-TV has lost this season, following Jean-Baptiste Boursier, who left to host the morning show on LCI, the TF1 group’s news channel, and Aurélie Casse, recruited by France 5 for the show ” “C the weekly”. Still far ahead in the ranking of news channels, the Altice group channel, joined at the start of the school year by Laurent Ruquier, has however seen the gap narrow with its competitors CNews and LCI in recent months.
