Orange announced the suspension of reader comment sections across its digital platforms starting September 29, 2026.

Digital Platform Adjustments at Orange
Orange confirmed that the reading and publication of messages will cease on September 29, 2026, across its web properties. Technical teams remain mobilized to restore the interactive feature at a later date, according to an official statement published on Orange. Users retain full access to archived articles, audio recordings, and broadcast chronicles despite the comment section shutdown. The policy shift directly alters how audiences interact with historical radio programming hosted via partner platforms.
Archival Radio Broadcasts Remain Accessible
The underlying broadcast material from France Inter remains online for public listening. Daniel Morin’s March 30, 2012 segment—which featured discussions with François Weyergans and Eric Fleutelot—continues to be hosted through standard digital channels. While audience feedback mechanisms sunset under the new Orange publishing rules, the core audio files and associated written summaries stay live on official web portals without modification.
