We first visited this new morning’s studio, very cozy with small armchairs, small shelves, small flower pots. “We wanted to make it look like anything but a TV set. We have to feel like we’re at home,” explained the management.
A focus on regions
In the middle of the studio, a gigantic table. The journalist Bruce Toussaint, central figure of this morning news, will be there every day surrounded by half a dozen columnists and their guest, because there will be one guest per day. We also learned that there would be, as in Telematin, 10-minute newspapers every half hour, with Garance Pardigon. There will also be a political interview. At what time ? TF1 hesitated to tell us, but it still seems that it was around 8:20 a.m. Nothing revolutionary compared to other existing morning shows: there will be news, weather information, culture, leisure and society chronicles with an emphasis on the regions, and this is what will perhaps differentiate this show from the morning show of LCI or that of BFM.
How will Bruce Toussaint say “hello”?
Bruce Toussaint, who we had not yet heard from since the announcement of his departure from BFMTV for TF1, also spoke. How will he say “hello”? Because it’s perhaps not easy to say “hello” in a show called Good morning !. “I admit that I haven’t thought too much about that, I will say a simple and sincere hello, really trying to address everyone who is watching us,” he responded to our microphone.
Bruce Toussaint left BFMTV 3 weeks ago. This TF1 morning news will begin on January 8… Everything happened very quickly. Did he manage to turn the BFM page without problem? “I have to turn the page but I have a little nostalgia,” he tells us before ensuring that he is very focused for his return to TF1 which is fast approaching.
