Overview
- France Inter and Maïtena Biraben confirmed on Monday that she will take over the 11:00–12:30 slot from Nagui and begin a new daily entertainment show on 24 August.
- The programme will be divided into three half‑hour blocks for commentator segments, an interview and current affairs slot, and a closing debate, a structure France Inter says differs from Nagui’s format.
- Station leaders named Daniel Morin as a confirmed regular contributor and cited Xavier Leherpeur among planned commentators while retaining Jean‑Baptiste Bussière as editorial chief for continuity.
- The move targets a high‑value audience band that still drew about 993,000 listeners for Nagui between January and March, making listener retention a central goal for the new show.
- Biraben’s public profile, including her recent disclosure of late diagnoses (autism spectrum, ADHD and high intellectual potential), and her promise of a joyful, popular tone shape expectations for how she will redefine the slot ahead of the presidential year.
