According to information from our colleagues at Pure MediasManu Payet, will no longer be hosting the Virgin Radio morning show next season and will be replaced by a columnist from Do not touch My TV. This is Guillaume Genton. The young thirty-something “will be surrounded by a new team, which should notably be composed of a Miss France”.
For his part, the comedian and actor will go back on stage for a single stage. He will launch his third one-man-show at the start of the school year (less than three years after Emmanuel’s last, his previous one-man-show, editor’s note), before moving to the Théâtre de l’Œuvre from January 19, 2023.
He had taken over from Camille Combal in 2020. The one who officiates on TF1 was at the head of the morning show between 2014 and 2020 before leaving Mélanie Angélie, Clément, Ginger, Nico from the office and her hundreds of thousands of listeners. “I don’t stop for something that would be waiting for me elsewhere. I want Virgin Radio to be able to calmly prepare the sequel (…) Thank you to you who have chosen to wake up by my side. By embarking on this adventure I I would never have imagined one day to be so followed. And supported. Without you nothing would be possible… We will resume the story soon”had declared the former disciple of Cyril Hanouna to the Parisian.
Guillaume Genton, the new presenter, will have the mission of redressing the hearings, which have been falling for several months. According to the latest publication of Médiamétrie radio audiences from January to March 2022, Virgin Tonic had gathered an average of 209,000 listeners, i.e. a loss of 49,000 people over one year. Our colleagues recall that the morning was ranked sixth in music radio behind Fun Radio and RTL2.
