Thanked for Numbers and Letters after 47 years, Bertrand Renard will give way to a new number man. According to Télé-Loisirs, France 3 has found its replacement.
Numbers and letters will be upset next September. Relegated to weekly, the oldest program of the PAF will also lose its two historical referees. “We did not agree and we regret it, confirmed Alexandra Redde-Amiel, the patron saint of entertainment and games at France Télévisions to Parisian. We thank Arielle and Bertrand for the very beautiful page of the game they wrote for so many years.” Arielle Boulin-Prat had been present in Numbers and Letters since February 26, 1986 and Bertrand Renard joined the show in 1975 after having participated in it.. After 47 years spent in Numbers and Letters, the figures gentleman will leave his place. And according to information from Entertainment TVFrance Télévisions has already found a replacement for him.
According to our colleagues, it would be Stéphane Crosnier, one of the greatest champions in the history of the show, winner of the Champions Cup in 1997, finalist of the Armand Jammot Cup in 2001 and winner of the Championship in 2010. For the moment, the possible replacement for Bertrand Renard has not confirmed this information and who will take the place of Arielle Boulin-Prat is not yet known. After this shock announcement, the two referees of Numbers and Letters came out of silence. In a statement, they have been “forced and forced” to leave the France 3 broadcast. “We had chosen not to respond to requests from journalists, to digest this situation of rare violence, they explained. We didn’t refuse the supposed new version of the game, since we were never presented with it.“
“France Télévisions demanded a drop in our salary of around 60%”
“What is modestly designated as a contractual disagreement arose because France Télévisions demanded a reduction in our salary of around 60% and refused to grant us the CDI that we had the audacity to claim, wrote again Arielle Boulin-Prat and Bertrand Renard, on fixed-term contracts for 36 years for her and 47 years for him. We don’t exist even though we’re on the air every day. This regularization was flatly refused to us, without explanation. It is humanly unacceptable before it is legally. Note that they will still be present on the weekends of September 3-4 and 10-11 since these numbers were recorded before the holidays. On the air since 1965, the program will switch to weekly and will be broadcast on Saturdays and Sundays at 5 p.m. from September 17.
