The journalist was the guest of Philippe Vandel's Grand Journal to review the health of his new channel and an update on his own career.
LCI, chain that "almost died". The success of hearings of his show is according to him due to his "pedagogy". "We explain in detail, we will not spend thirty seconds or a minute, but sometimes five or six minutes on the pension system, the situation in Algeria, etc. In short, we give all the keys," promises the presenter.
More generally, the channel, very badly in point recently, has seen its audiences climb by 40% in one year. "It's the remontada ... (...) This chain almost died, finally it managed to integrate TNT but it was at 0.2% It had become completely marginal," said David Pujadas.
"A role to play". On November 28, the show La grande explication - with debates and a platter almost entirely composed of "yellow vests" - even exceeded one million viewers, thus giving LCI the fifth position of the national channels. "It's the right idea at the right time, the media had a role to play, to establish a dialogue between this government and the yellow vests", decrypts the journalist who, in his personal capacity, thinks he will "soon something else than the antenna ". Before saying: "I will not be a chain boss, I will do production."
