Childéric Muller (born 3 April 1963 in Marseille, France) is a former French television host and pop star. He was elected a town councillor of Marseille in March 2008. As a producer and media entrepreneur, he contributed to TV programs across Europe. Since 2000, he has run his own production company, Waï TV.
Muller was born and raised in Marseille. At 16, he began working for the local Radio Star station and wrote his first articles for local newspapers such as La Provence.
In 1982, Muller moved to Paris to study journalism. There, he continued to host radio shows and to write articles for the national newspapers Le Matin de Paris and VSD. In 1983, he was hired by Antenne 2 as a scientific journalist. In 1985, he helped found the national radio network Skyrock.
He studied journalism, communications, and media business management at Paris Dauphine University, and law at Paris-Nanterre University.
Muller became famous in the 1980s as a radio and TV host whose shows helped introduce New Wave and pop rock music to the French public. In 1985, he began producing and hosting specials—on The Cure, Indochine, and Sade Adu, for example—for the show Les Enfants du Rock. At the same time, he worked on La Voix du Lézard and helped found Skyrock. The TV6 network hired him to present the daily talk show Systeme 6. He in turn hired many newcomers to work under him, including Jean-Luc Delarue and Charlotte Valandrey.
