After making the heyday of the L’Equipe and RTL channel for several years, Carine Galli is about to return to RMC.
The exodus will certainly have been much less marked than with their colleagues from BFM. Nevertheless, the acquisition in July 2024 of the RMC-BFM group by the CMA Media group of the billionaire Rodolphe Saadé, with the key to journalists the possibility of activating a very advantageous transfer clause, will also have caused a wave of departures at RMC Sport.
If the most emblematic departure is obviously that of Jean Souveguié, in the antenna for 37 years, several other figures of the radio have also decided to leave, including Nicolas Vilas and Thibaut Giangrande, animators in particular of the free antenna of “the after foot”.
In response, RMC Sport saw things big for next season by convincing two of the figures of the moment, Bertrand Latour and Carine Galli, to join the Daniel Riolo, Jérôme Rothen and others. And to achieve their ends, the leaders of RMC Sport did not find it.
Bertrand Latour’s flip-flop
According to the specialist media Clément Garin, Bertrand Latour was thus offered his own program, the commentary of the main posters as well as a wage revaluation of 20%. An offer that was ultimately not enough according to Mohamed Toubache Ter. The fault of a channel+escalation, obviously ready to do anything to keep the old one of the L’Equipe chain.
“It stays”, wrote the 32 -year -old journalist on X in reference to Gerard Piqué’s post a few days before Neymar’s departure for PSG. Bertrand Latour has not forgotten to mention in his message Maxime Saada, Gérald-Brice Viret and Thomas Senecal, who granted him a substantial salary revaluation.
RMC Sport will therefore have to be satisfied with the comeback of Carine Galli. The one that has been officiating for almost a decade on the L’Equipe channel, and since more recently on RTL as well as in the field in matches broadcast on M6, has indeed intervened regularly in after foot in the early 2000s.
