Cauet Returns to Europe 1 with New Daily Program

The move could revive his radio profile as a Paris judicial inquiry into past sexual‑violence allegations continues.

Overview

  • He announced this week that he will host a daily Europe 1 show titled "Y’en aura pour tout le monde" to air in the 15:00–16:00 slot and described it as a light, news‑commentary programme.
  • Lagardère Radio’s stations Europe 1 and Europe 2 will carry the new show while Cauet also currently presents programmes on Europe 2, creating an overlap that Europe 2 plans to cover partly with his team.
  • French judges placed Cauet under formal investigation in May 2024 for alleged rapes and a sexual assault dating from 1997–2014 involving four women, three of whom were adolescents at the time, and the judicial instruction remains open.
  • A separate extortion case tied to the matter ended in May with the Court of Appeal of Versailles sentencing a woman who had demanded €30,000 from Cauet to 30 months in prison, 12 months suspended.
  • The announcement revives questions about broadcaster decisions and public trust because Cauet was removed from NRJ in November 2023 after a first complaint and the continuation of his other airings and the outcome of the Paris inquiry are likely to shape his career next.
