An internal choice! According to our information, it is Maxime Switek who was appointed by the management of BFM TV to succeed Bruce Toussaint at the helm of the 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. slot. He will succeed Bruce Toussaint at the beginning of January, who will leave the news channel in mid-December before taking charge of TF1 where he will present a morning news show from the start of 2024. In an email sent today to employees, the general director of BFM TV, Marc-Olivier Fogiel, explains that he did not want “launch a transfer window in the middle of the year”. “Firstly because generally the personalities who commit to a season want to honor their commitment, but also because we have enough in-house talent on which to rely, he indicates. We don’t need to look elsewhere, the talent is already there. Finally, it is a guarantee of stability for viewers. »
Julie Hammett for the 10 p.m. to midnight
Other changes in the schedule: from January, Alice Darfeuille will replace Julie Hammett alongside Laurent Ruquier between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m., then in “60 Minutes” between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. For her part, Julie Hammett will take charge of the 10 p.m.-midnight slot and will present “BFM Story” on Fridays. Finally, Céline Pitelet will present the weekend evenings. “We have been leading the race for 15 years now and intend to continue, recalls Marc-Olivier Fogiel in his email. Being number 1 is a responsibility and a requirement, and know that I am particularly proud of the work we accomplish together every day in the information department. »
At the beginning of October, Bruce Toussaint spoke in the columns of “La Tribune Dimanche” regarding his decision to leave BFM TV. “It was a difficult choice to make because the timing is unusual, he explained to us. But I mightn’t refuse TF1’s offer. Three hours of airtime every day on Europe’s leading channel. It’s dizzying. It’s an extraordinary opportunity that I mightn’t pass up. (…) The only reason for my departure is the fantastic offer from TF1. »
