Vincent Bolloré turns Rodolphe Belmer Canal + – The Point

There is always something to Canal +! Last week we announced the departure of Bertrand Méheut, company CEO; before yesterday, it was Les Guignols de l’info that were on the hot seat. This morning, we bet (rightly!) On the end of Grand Journal. This Friday afternoon, Rodolphe Belmer, CEO of the encrypted channel, pay the costs of those tumultuous days. The group Canal + Supervisory Board, met on Friday, has terminated the functions of the Director General Rodolphe Belmer group, replaced by Maxime Saada, until now deputy general manager, said a statement from the parent company Vivendi. Rodolphe Belmer, 45, who was promoted to general manager of Canal + Group in October 2012, had seen his expanded responsibilities, in January, at the head of Vivendi Contents, and had long been mentioned as a possible successor Chairman of Canal +, Bertrand Méheut.

Unable to modernize 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

He was accused Belmer not doing spring cleaning in the slice 19 hours-21 hours and have maintained for the next back Le Grand Journal , and his producer KM presenter Antoine de Caunes while the flagship show of the chain goes through a very difficult and displays hearings down constant. Psychodrama which was played in the last 48 hours around the stop (ultimately denied) of Puppets of info has not restored the image of an internal popular man, but a little breathless to revitalize the chain and was unable to revise down production costs of emissions. Le Grand Journal would be charged 120,000 euros per KM productions and The Puppets nearly 100 000 euros! Stagnation Canal at the time of its programs in clear decline, which Bein becomes a dangerous competitor in buying sports rights and the combined decline in the index of customer satisfaction and ultimately recruiting new aficionados were the rest.

This sudden departure announcement probably other alterations of the flow chart of the group. According to a press Vivendi, parent company of Canal +, is “on the recommendation of Bertrand holds” that Saada was appointed to chair Belmer evidence that Canal CEO is not about to start and still keeps hold of his group … The summer will be hot in the corridors of the company.
