After the eviction of Laure Adler and Jérôme Garcin and the replacement of Léa Salamé for the morning interview, Adèle Van Reeth, the new director of France Inter, does not stop renewing the grid of the first radio station in France. This Wednesday, Charline Vanhoenacker confirmed the end of her daily program “C’est encore nous” which will become weekly. “This decision is not mine,” she said.

She tries to deceive her, but despite a smile of circumstance, Charline Vanhoenacker struggles to hide her sadness and incomprehension. Guest of the program “C à Vous” this Wednesday on France 5, Charline Vanhoenacker confirmed at the microphone of Anne-Élisabeth Lemoine the end of her daily program, at the start of the school year on “France Inter”.

“This decision is not mine”

Appeared in 2014 on the first radio station in France, “It’s still us” that she hosted on the 5/6 p.m. slot with her accomplices Alex Vizorek and Guillaume Meurice, will therefore not blow out her ten candles, and the e we understand in the embarrassed and bitter words of the Belgian comedian, that this decision is not his. “I would have done one more year,” said Charline Vanhoenacker, not without recalling the audience successes of her show, and therefore her surprise on learning of the suspension of her daily appointment.

“I’m a bit of the old school, and since we’re very high in the polls and we’ve never been so high, I think we started at 350,000, now we have 1.25 million listeners, we won 100,000 a year, so with these good numbers, it wouldn’t have occurred to me to go weekly,” said the journalist.

“It’s still us” becomes weekly: “We will adapt”

This is how we learned the new format of his show at the start of the school year. “I was encouraged, it was a proposal that was made to me and here we are, we will adapt…”, added Charline Vanhoenacker, painfully hiding her disappointment. “How do you explain that we put an end to a program that has been a real success since 9 nine?”, Then tries to understand Anne-Élisabeth Lemoine. “I’m not very aware of new uses, the life of the media has changed a lot over the past 10 years, today there are podcasts, digital and there are things that are beyond me and no doubt what to do with the good ones audiences is no longer enough”, considered the Belgian humorist, emphasizing that “we were only 91,000 listeners away from “Les Grosses têtes”. Now, we are going to adapt, we are all enthusiastic , it may not be a bad idea in fact“, she wanted to believe. “We have always been very free on this antenna, if we can continue to be so on a weekly basis…”.

Could this freedom of tone at prime time precisely explain the end of the daily life of “It’s still us”, then tries to find out Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine? “I don’t think, we’re not as dirty kids as that,” concluded Charline Vanhoenacker.

Adler and Garcin “out”, Salamé replaced

Its withdrawal from the daily schedule is in any case part of a major reorganization of the antenna at the start of the school year wanted by the new director of France Inter appointed in February 2022. At the beginning of May, the departures of Laure Adler, 73, and Jérôme Garcin, 66, respectively presenters of “l’Heure bleue” and “Masque et la plume” have been announced, while Bruno Devic, the presenter of 13/14, will become a correspondent for Radio France in Rome. In addition, Léa Salamé will be replaced by Sonia Devillers for the morning interview at 7:50 a.m.
