Europe 1 imposes the wearing of the mask in the studio for a period of 15 days

Julian Bugier presented his masked show, Friday September 25 -

At the start of the school year, the media wondered if they were going to impose the wearing of a mask on stage and on the air.

While it became compulsory in business, television channels and radio stations refused to generalize it for their hosts and guests.

It was a month ago.

But this week, new restrictive measures were announced in an attempt to stem the epidemic, and Europe 1 decided to take the plunge.

The day after Olivier Véran's new announcements, the radio with the blue logo therefore forced its teams to speak with masks.

“What would happen if Matthieu Belliard tested positive tomorrow?

All members of his team would be contact cases.

That would complicate matters.

The priority is the health of the editorial staff, ”said Donat Vidal Revel, news director of Europe 1, to our colleagues at

.

For a period of fifteen days, the staff must wear the mask when there are several people in the studio.

Christophe Hondelatte, alone at the microphone for his show, will for example be exempt.

At

, the management of Europe 1 ensures that “unlike fabric masks, surgical workers do not in any way affect the quality of sound.

We realized this with some guests who refused to remove it.

For listeners, it is impossible to realize this.

If this measure is indeed imperceptible to the public, will other stations follow Europe 1, the first to impose the mask in all its broadcasts in France?
