You will no longer hear his famous imitations on the frequency: 183 kHz.

Its producer Jean-Marc Dumontet announced on Twitter that the Revue du Presque would not be renewed at the start of the school year.

“With deep sadness, we learned that we would no longer return to this beautiful meeting that we had been honoring since 2005”, on private radio, write the producer under the message “Nicolas Canteloup and Europe 1 it's over”.

The fate of Nicolas Canteloup raised questions internally and beyond since the historic five-day strike in June within the station, motivated by the dismissal of a reporter and the fear of a transformation of the radio in “opinion media” according to the merger with the Canal + group's news channel.

Without going on strike, the imitator, showcase of the radio, had given its support to the movement during caustic chronicles.

For the last of the season, he renamed Europe 1 to CNews Radio and mocked “the great Breton captain” Bolloré.

Agreed or forced departures accumulate

"We will therefore be leaving Europe 1, our home where we have been so free and happy," says the Revue team of almost.

“The listeners will be missed.

We will miss all the teams we have shared so much with.

We would hate that Europe 1 is missing in its history, ”concludes the text, with reference to the fears weighing on the radio, doomed to get closer to CNews, under the influence of Vincent Bolloré, main shareholder of the two media.
