TheRolyPoly 2526 Posted May 17 Author Share Posted May 17 France Two things here... BFM Paris Ile-de-France, the first and flagship of the BFM Regions channels, went off the air for good in mid-March. Accumulated financial losses were to blame, but the other regional channels from BFM are still around. https://fr.themedialeader.com/bfm-paris-a-ferme-ses-portes/ The great Daniel Bilalian, who anchored Antenne 2 (before the name was changed in 1992 to the current France 2)'s 13h and 20h during the 80s and 90s, before leading the sports department for 12 years, has passed away. He was 78. https://entrevue.fr/en/disparition-de-daniel-bilalian-figure-de-laudiovisuel-francais-a-lage-de-78-ans/ 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15210-international-out-and-about/page/13/#findComment-305519 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRolyPoly 2526 Posted 4 hours ago Author Share Posted 4 hours ago Spain 50 years as the country's most recognized, well respected, most trusted, and most beloved journalist. Matías Prats celebrates 50 years on Spanish television. TVE from 1975-1998 (23 years), and Antena 3 since then, going on 27 years there, now mainly anchoring weekends with Mónica Carrillo and is usually the most-watched weekend News team in the country. Not too bad for someone following in his legendary father's footsteps. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.antena3.com/noticias/sociedad/chascarrillo-matias-prats-recordando-sus-50-anos-television-daria-ideas-direccion-retirarme_202505246831e61a3407f96812ad11f1.html Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15210-international-out-and-about/page/13/#findComment-305635 Share on other sites More sharing options...
