Radio career

Alexandre Debanne began his career at age 20 on FR3 Radio Centre (Bourges) and then with local radio stations. He became one of the famous radio presenters of CFM, one of the first local stations of Bourges that ended ony after one year of existence. He then came back to Bourges to create another local station named Diabolo FM (later Vibration). He later became one of the most famous radio presenters of NRJ in the 1980s.

From February 2007 to January 2008, he presented the program Debout les chéries on Chérie FM in direct every morning from Monday to Friday.

Television career

In 1987, he presented the television program Des clips dans mon 4 heures on TF1. He then joined M6, but went back TF1 soon after to become a main presenter of the channel, co-hosting Vidéo Gag with Bernard Montiel and La Roue de la fortune for a while. In June 1996, he was victim of a motorcycle accident.[1] Alexandre Delpérier replaced him at Vidéo Gag at that time. He reappeared on television on 30 December 1996 at the evening news presented by Patrick Poivre d'Arvor.[2] In 1997, he decided to spend more time for his passions (travelling, sport) and left TF1.

After an experience in theatre, he attempted a return on television on France 3 with the game show host Le Kadox[3] from 1998 to 2000. He then presented adventure programs, where he explored different areas for tourism. He travelled to Burma, Papua New Guinea, Québec and New Caledonia in the program Appel d'air.
