Jean-Marc Morandini has been withdrawn from the CNews airwaves, prompting the channel's management to reorganize the programming schedule. Following a Monday afternoon decision, a crisis meeting was held by CNews executives to determine who would take over the 'Morandini Live!' slot, which was originally broadcast from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM. In response to this programming gap, the channel will extend Pascal Praud's show 'L’heure des pros' by an additional half hour.

The channel's director, Serge Nedjar, has made the decision to have Pascal Praud conclude his segment at 11 AM instead of the usual 10:30 AM, allowing for a smoother transition into the next program. This move indicates a strategic effort by CNews to retain its audience and ensure continuity in programming by not leaving an interruption after Morandini's departure. Following Praud's segment, Thomas Bonnet, a well-known political journalist from the channel, will take over, marking a notable change in the morning lineup.

This restructuring not only highlights CNews’s adaptability to unexpected changes in its programming, but it also reflects the channel's reliance on familiar faces to maintain viewer engagement. The announcement of Bonnet as Morandini's successor signals the network's intention to keep a politically-savvy presence during morning hours, reinforcing the significance of experienced journalists in delivering news and commentary amidst changing viewer expectations.
