One of the faces of BFM TV leaves the channel. Journalist Jean-Baptiste Boursier will join another continuous news channel, LCI, next September. He will present LCI's morning show during the week, in place of Stefan Etcheverry.
"We will evolve the morning weekday to an even more in-depth format, with an increased place given to expertise," Fabien Namias, deputy director general of LCI, the TF1 group's news channel, said in a statement.
A growing audience at LCI
According to him, this is part of a desire to "continue and further accentuate the momentum initiated on LCI, since last season". Even if it remains behind BFMTV and CNews in the ranking of news channels, LCI has seen its audience grow in recent months, thanks in particular to its coverage of the war in Ukraine.
Born in 1982, Jean-Baptiste Boursier joined BFMTV in 2011 and presented evening and weekend segments, as well as special football programs during major international competitions. He then went through RMC Story in 2018 and France Télévisions in 2019, before returning in 2020 to BFMTV, where he is currently at the head of an end-of-day news segment on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. He also co-presents a fact-checking show, "A l'épreuve des faits", on Saturdays at 13pm.
