“We put all our energy, all our know-how and all our heart into this adventure. It ends and it’s in spite of us, dropped Anne-Laure Bonnet. We wish you all a wonderful end to the football season. Telefoot the channel, it’s over, see you soon. “ This is how the journalist from the Médiapro group channel returned to the air this Sunday evening for the last time.

Less than six months after its creation, the Téléfoot channel returned the air a few hours after the broadcast of the classic between Olympique de Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain (0-2), counting for the 24th day of League 1. The fault of Médiapro which did not wish to honor the contract established a few months earlier with the Professional Football League. A situation that affects all players in French football who have largely paid tribute to the sixty journalists who worked daily within the channel and are today without work.
“I measure the impact that stopping the chain will have for its employees”, said Vincent Labrune, insisting on “Great skill” journalists and consultants from the channel. “Journalists, consultants, technicians, directors, administrators: all have shown great rigor and immense professionalism”, added the president of the LFP in a press release published on Monday.
