Former RTBF presenter and former head of sport at Canal+ Belgium André Remy has died at the age of 89, RTBF announced on Sunday.
Remy was a well-known figure on Belgian television. He co-hosted the programme "Feu vert" with Jacques Careuil.
He also co-wrote the comedy show "Sois Belge et tais-toi !" with his son, Baudouin Remy.
