Thus, the director of information Jean-Pierre Elkabbach, reputed to support the former president of the Republic, was dismissed in June and Pierre Desgraupes, a journalist rather marked on the left and ousted from the management of Information Première in July 1972, was appointed president of Antenne 2 on July 23, 1981. He intends to make television the scout and the guide of the mutation that French society has been experiencing, according to him, since May 10, 1981 by developing the party and the unexpected in the programs and by calling on new talents[8 ]. The new management emphasizes culture by developing creative theatrical programs, airing contemporary music programs for young people and educating the public about concert music.
