Patrick Sabatier is making his return to RTL . After a career marked by numerous iconic television and radio programs, the presenter is returning to the station where he first left his mark. This return marks a new chapter for someone who has never hidden his attachment to radio.
In an interview with Télé 7 Jours on the occasion of this announcement, Patrick Sabatier sums up his state of mind in one sentence: "Radio has always been my first love." A statement that illustrates the special link he has maintained with this medium since the beginning of his career.
A series dedicated to the major figures of the 1980s
For his comeback, Patrick Sabatier will lend his voice to a new series entitled Icons of the 80s . Through these episodes, he will revisit the personalities who defined this decade, blending personal memories, behind-the-scenes anecdotes, and portraits of artists he worked with throughout his career. The former host of shows like Le Jeu de la vérité , Avis de recherche , and Mot de passe will thus offer his perspective on an era in which he was one of the most popular faces on French television.
A journey spanning several decades
Patrick Sabatier has spanned nearly half a century in television and radio. Rising to prominence in the late 1970s, he hosted several of France's biggest entertainment programs before regularly returning to the screen over the years with new formats. His return to RTL marks a new chapter in this long career. This time, he's focusing on a more intimate format, based on storytelling, memories, and reminiscences, rather than the large-scale entertainment programs that made his name.
By returning to RTL, Sabatier is reconnecting with a world he knows intimately and to which he says he remains deeply attached. His new series will allow listeners to rediscover the leading figures of the 1980s through the memories and personal accounts of one of their key witnesses.
