Made during the day voice of the Nîmes for 23 years, Fred de NRJ returns the antenna

Originally from Stéphanois, Frédéric Vialon has become an essential NRJ animator on the local antenna of Nîmes.When he decided to bow, "Fred" was part of the Nîmes daily for 23 years.Rare longevity in the environment he traces for goal Gard before leaving on July 30 for new adventures.

Before encouraging the Greens of the USAM which he has been speaking for over ten years, Frédéric Vialon first supported those of football in Saint-Étienne.This Stéphanois, born in 1972, is passionate about the radio that he listens regularly and discovers this world in a small local radio at 14 years old."I went there once a week.I loved music and I found this magical universe to see guys talking to other people in the position."His first memories were those of the driver Difool who hit the 1990s on Fun Radio in the early 1990s."He too is Stéphanois, so it marked me!", He recalls at a time when making radio was obvious for him.

To try to follow the same path, after having obtained his baccalaureate and spent long months on internship in the same Radio Forézienne, Fred integrates the Studio École de France.A year in this establishment dedicated to the radio trades where he has the chance to train a few months on France Inter.A graduate, which is more promo, the young man is directly recruited at "frequency Jura", a Swiss radio, where he works for a year and a half."I had to say seventy and ninety on the air instead of seventy and ninety," he recalls with smile even if this experience remains, "mixed because it did not especially meet my expectationsWith a lot of slice changes.»»»»

It was by returning a weekend to his family that the host meets his future wife, then employed in a clothing store.The latter, Nîmes, then took over the management of a shop in the Garde prefecture."I said to him," I follow you, I will find a job there.»»"Quickly, it was at Fun Radio Nîmes that he was hired part-time before applying, after a few months, for NRJ where a position had just released."It was the benchmark on a music radio.For me in Nîmes, there was no better, it was the consecration.»»"Fred realizes his dream and the adventure begins on March 31, 1998, the year of birth of Lucas, the eldest of a siblings made up of Clément and Elisa. «À l’époque, Titanic était au cinéma»»»», plaisante-t-il pour rappeler que le temps a filé si vite.

Four hours a day, it is he who takes control for NRJ listeners in Nîmes.Passed by different time slots, he had been on the air for a year from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m..Even if for him the best period was Afterschool: "It is at the exit of offices and classes, we feel when people listen to us.On the games, there were always people participating.»»"With the advent of musical platforms, the rule is now to have content to furnish between the discs.Unusual info, outings, good plans and places (concerts, USAM, Nîmes Olympique) to win, Fred always has something to tell at the microphone. Un quotidien qui au fil du temps lui a permis de rencontrer des acteurs comme Jean Dujardin, venu à Nîmes pour la sortie du film «Lucky Luke»»»» ou encore Fabrice Éboué mais surtout des chanteurs.

As part of the song of the year, organized from 2015 to 2019 in the arenas of Nîmes and which must return to it in 2022 or 2023, NRJ relocated the Plateau in particular on Place d'Assas.Fred thus had the opportunity to welcome many artists like Amir, Slimane, Tal and many others who marked him."I remember the simplicity and fishing of Claudio Capéo, the extreme kindness of Matt Pokora and the Louane phenomenon.She was super happy that I offered her a bundle of tanged smurf candy.»»Enough to keep an unforgettable memory of this meeting.Good moments for little bad, apart from a few classic galleys of console or a slightly broken voice the day after a match at Parnassus.

"I hope I have marked the Nîmes a little"»»»

Apart from the period of confinement that Fred experienced badly.If he spent the first at home, the following ones, he found himself alone in the premises of the radio to host his program."Basic, I don't have the character of a solo guy.I came, I was talking to listeners during the day and my family in the evening.It was very weird.After I don't complain because I was not on the front line.»»A delicate period when the host also had to reinvent himself to find the good tone to continue to put a little joy in people's lives, all in a context of Pandemia."I was trying to find Feel Good info and appropriate them to bounce back on it and at least make the Nîmes smile.Unpretentious, I think that in terms of speak antenna, this is the year when I was the best because I needed to work more.»»»»

A voice and a joie de vivre that many listeners will not forget.Nearly 14,000 Nîmes listen to Fred every day.So when the latter announced on Facebook that he was leaving the NRJ antenna after 23 years, hundreds of thank you messages were posted."You come every day but you have no return.So when I have a mom who tells me that she listened to me and now her daughter listens to me too, it's great.It’s rare in this environment to stay so long.»»»»A fairly unique longevity recognized within the French radio group, some of his colleagues nicknamed the taulier.After more than 5,000 shows and 300,000 hits broadcast, Frédéric himself decided to turn the page.

A long presence motivated by envy even if after two years everything could have stopped."I didn't want to stay because I was young, it's a big box and we can't do whatever you want.»»»But he adapted and did not think he was so long. «J’espère avoir marqué un peu les nîmois et qu’ils m’ont tous au moins entendu une fois»»»», plaisante-t-il.A city that adopted him and which he fell in love with.And even if he does not yet want to reveal his new projects outside the radio, Fred will stay to live in the city of Antonin."When I look at the football results, I first look for Nîmes and after Saint-Etienne.»»»"He will no doubt continue to talk about his experience as a animator on NRJ, a recognized brand" as my wife says, when we meet people, once my husband said her job, we only talk tohim.»»»This Friday, July 30, for its last show, the smiles should undoubtedly give way to a few tears.One last moment that Fred intends to share with listeners.
