Philippe Corbé Reported to Succeed Alexandre Kara as France Télévisions Director of Information

Reports surface during an overhaul to centralize editorial control across all information output at the public broadcaster.

Overview

  • France Télévisions declined to confirm the reported appointment after multiple outlets said Corbé will take over the information portfolio.
  • Corbé told colleagues he is leaving France Inter, where he became director of information in April 2025 after senior roles at RTL and BFMTV.
  • Alexandre Kara, who has led the information division since October 2022, informed staff he will move into an advisory role on information transformation for the presidency.
  • The reorganized brief is expected to extend the information director’s remit to news and current‑affairs magazines such as C dans l’air and C à Vous, according to recent statements by executives.
  • Follow‑on staffing moves are anticipated, including naming a permanent head of the political desk—interim since September—and a likely replacement at France Inter, with deputy Rémi Sulmont cited in reports.
