Fond of adventures, Stephane Rotenberg added a new string to his bow since July 10, 2023. The emblematic host of Beijing Expresson M6 has indeed launched a new program, in the same vein as its “baby”, baptized The Route of the Chests. A summer challenge broadcast on the sixth channel at 6:45 p.m. Unfortunately, the first episode did not have the expected effect with “only” 510,000 viewers for the second episode, as noted Puremedia. Our colleagues tell us at the same time that it is “the lowest audience share for M6 access since at least 2014”.
Failure or not, Stéphane Rotenberg makes the beautiful days of M6 and the chain still relies on him as much as ever. And yet, nothing suggested such a long collaboration between the companion of Nathalie Pisibon and the chain. Quite simply because the profession of animator was not his primary vocation. Indeed, before appearing in front of the camera, the host, now 55 years old, was placed behind. It was even he who unearthed the talents of tomorrow to officiate in the role he occupies today. “Little chef at France 2, I was behind the camera and my job was to hire animators and choose the shows”informed the host this Tuesday, July 18, 2023 during his visit to European 1.

Without Stéphane Rotenberg, Frédéric Lopez might never have emerged
His visit to France Televisions allowed him to meet and unearth the emblematic animators of the group, starting with Frédéric Lopez, the former animator of Meeting in unknown landwho has given way to Raphaël de Casabianca to devote himself to his other baby: Sunday in the countryside. Without Stephane Rotenbergthe host who came out live on the public service might never have known the career that is his, according to the revelations of the star presenter of Beijing Express.
“My boss told me: ‘find a host for a movie show’. I start looking and I agree to this little thing”first remembered Stephane Rotenberg before continuing: “I had spotted Frédéric Lopez who was in the closet on LCI. I really insisted in the house, because there were other candidates, (and I insisted editor’s note.) that it was him. I I thought he was great. He was completely marginalized”.
A winning bet, because the host, having been afraid to come out, is now part of the furniture of France Televisions and the success of its programs no longer needs to be proven.
