"It was by reading a press release from CNews (...) that the Europe 1 teams learned that a special edition will be offered to listeners of the station on July 14"

, hosted by journalists from the channel of info, reported these organizations, for whom this is further proof of

"the reality of the takeover of the antenna of Europe 1 by CNews"

. Denouncing a total lack of communication from the management of the radio on this co-broadcast, these same organizations (which include the SNJ, CGT, CFTC and FO unions, and the SDR), see it as a

"flagrant demonstration"

that the strategic decisions concerning their radio are now taken

"in the offices of Canal +"

, the parent company of CNews, unlike the insurance companies of the Lagardère group, owner of Europe 1.

This co-broadcast is one of the first illustrations of the synergies that Europe 1 wants to develop with CNews, with whom it now shares the same main shareholder, Vincent Bolloré.

To the chagrin of many employees, who recently organized a historic 5-day strike, voices from Europe 1 will be replaced by personalities from CNews and broadcasts common to the two antennas set up at the start of the school year.
