Selon le quotidien Le Parisien, Benjamin Duhamel devrait occuper une place plus importante dans la matinale de France Inter que la seule interview de 7 h 50.
Le départ de Léa Salamé, pilier de la matinale depuis 2014, a ainsi donné lieu à un véritable casse-tête.

Overview

  • Duhamel has formally departed BFMTV to devote himself exclusively to France Inter’s morning show after joining the station less than a month ago.
  • He will conduct both the flagship 7:50 a.m. political interview and the 8:20 a.m. grand entretien session each weekday.
  • Pressure from Radio France journalists and unions over potential conflicts of interest compelled him to choose between his private and public media roles.
  • The lineup shift was prompted by Léa Salamé’s transition from France Inter’s matinale to anchor France 2’s 20 Heures.
  • These high-profile staffing changes at public broadcasters occur as France prepares for the 2026 municipal elections and the 2027 presidential contest.
