LCI's morning show will soon change face. From the beginning of the next school year, she will be embodied by Jean-Baptiste Boursier. Since the 2021-2022 season, the journalist officiated on the competing news channel BFMTV, at the helm of the fact checking show "A l'épreuve des faits", on Saturdays at 13pm. He will succeed Stefan Etcheverry, who has held the position for two years. "The latter is in discussion with the TF1 Group on the continuation of its collaboration at the end of this season."

We want to continue and further accentuate the momentum started on LCI since last season. For this, we will evolve the morning weekday towards an even more in-depth format, with an increased place given to expertise, to further mark our difference and our positioning, "said Fabien Namias, deputy director general of LCI, in a press release. "His solid experience in international and political issues will be invaluable for the success of the tranche," he said. "There is a coherence between his career and the editorial line of LCI," summarizes TF1.
At forty years old, Jean-Baptiste Boursier already has a long experience on continuous news channels. After a stint on i-Télé (now CNews) in 2009, where he presented several segments until 2011, he joined BFMTV to host the evening and weekend segments. This football fan also presented the Champions League evenings on RMC Sport.
