Patrick Cohen returns to the LCP in 1989 with the “Wanted Notice” dedicated to Patrick Bruel

The program “Rembob’INA”, now broadcast on Thursdays on the Parliament channel, decodes an era through an old television program. This time it takes us back to February 24, 1989, the day Patrick Bruel experienced his career change.

Patrick Cohen is known as a radio presenter and has worked at Franceinfo, France Inter, France Culture and Europe 1. The journalist has been sitting at the table for the France 5 “C to you” program every evening for 13 years. At the same time, since 2018, he has been hosting on the parliamentary channel (LCP) the weekly program “Rembob’INA”, which returns to an old television program, a significant sequence or a social issue to decipher an era with archives from the National Audiovisual Institute ( INA).

After mentioning, among other things, “The Hour of Truth” by Abbé Pierre this season, on Thursday April 11th at 8:30 p.m. a series of adventures begins with Coluche, the first society magazine about young people, an issue of Patrick’s Sabatier hosted the program “Avis de recherche” on TF1, in which a celebrity met with former classmates. A very specific number was chosen, that of February 24, 1989.”It could have been called: Birth of a Star” explains Patrick Cohen, who says that it all started with a discussion with Patrick Bruel, for whom “Wanted Notice” has a very special touch, as he admitted to him. “Everything changed then” says Patrick Cohen.

“He established himself by bringing his friends together and founding the Place des Grands hommes.”

At that time, Patrick Bruel was known as an actor and somewhat less as a singer. “That hasn’t happened yet Break your voice which will appear on the album a few months later Just look, with a string of hits that really established him. But then he suddenly pushes himself forward by gathering his friends and creating something “Place des Grands hommes,” emphasizes Patrick Cohen. 16 million viewers will witness this birth. “Jhe didn’t know that Place of great men was created on television and for this particular show., admits Patrick Cohen. But he realizes that “itIt’s a wonderful story. It is a song that remains in Patrick Bruel’s repertoire. This is one of the highlights of his concerts“.

After six years of this program, Patrick Cohen is not tired. He explains that in “Rembob’INA” everything can be tackled, that nothing is forbidden, neither topics related to diversity, politics nor the international. Large social shows may only find their limits in their formats, which are not always useful and coherent for the concept of the show. “This is not an academic show, this is not a show for historians“, he specifies. Two new shows will be broadcast during the Cannes Film Festival in May. Patrick Cohen specifies that this is what it is about “Two broadcasts on a legendary magazine from Antenne 2 that seemed impossible to us : cinema, cinemas”. To the wise.
