Mercato 2023: Julia Vignali, Marie Portolano... Musical chairs continue at France 2

The lines of the PAF continue to move. In the middle of the transfer window, the start of the 2023 school year is being prepared on television and radio. Lately, it is the future of Sophie Davant at the helm of the show "Affaire conclue" that was questioned. The number two of France Televisions, Stéphane Sitbon-Gomez, recently confided that the host wanted something else. "I respect that even though I would have preferred to keep her. I think she will no longer present "Deal concluded" at the beginning of the school year, at least on weekdays, "he explained.

It is now official, the time of Sophie Davant presenting "Case concluded" is over. And the presenter who will take up the torch is already designated. It is none other than Julia Vignali, until then co-host of "Télématin" alongside Thomas Sotto. And this departure from the morning would not be due to the alleged tensions that oppose him to his co-host. "Thomas has been my partner for a year and a half and it's going very, very well," she said last March. According to information from Le Parisien, the latter was chosen to animate the 16 p.m. to 18 p.m. segment on France 2 by honoring antiques. A new challenge for the companion of Kad Merad who, having her arrival at France Télévisions in 2021, was at the helm of the pastry show broadcast on M6, the "Best Pastry Chef".

A new pair for "Télématin"

And it is a real game of musical chairs that is being written. By leaving the morning show, Julia Vignali leaves a free place... but which did not remain so for long. The management of the public service channel has poached Marie Portolano from her activities at M6. The journalist will therefore team up with Thomas Sotto - who will continue the morning against all odds - for the next season of "Télématin", after having passed through the sports department of Canal and having presented the "Best Pastry Chef" on M6. It remains to know his or her successor and the circle will be closed.
