Benjamin Duhamel takes over France 2 Sunday political show

Benjamin Duhamel, a former BFMTV journalist and current France Inter presenter, will host a new political interview programme on France 2 and France Inter. The show will launch on 30 August, air Sundays at 13:20, and run for about 40 minutes, replacing the long‑standing 13:15 slot previously held by Laurent Delahousse. Delahousse’s magazine will move to 14:00. The change is part of France Télévisions’ effort to strengthen election coverage ahead of the presidential campaign and to cut costs, leading to the cancellation of France 3’s "Dimanche en politique" programme. Duhamel’s appointment has reignited accusations of nepotism, given his rapid rise and his family’s prominence in French media.
