"Before closing this edition, the editor-in-chief Véronique Jan and the entire
13 Hours team
join me in wishing Marie-Sophie Lacarrau good luck in her new professional adventure", soberly slipped her joker, Nathanaël de Rincquesen, this Friday, September 18 on the air.
“For almost four years, she has accompanied you in this edition.
It was a real pleasure to work with these sides.
"A text decided the same morning in consultation with all of her former collaborators, which does not however specify that the journalist is joining the competition: she will replace Jean-Pierre Pernaut at the" 13 Hours "of TF 1, from the 4 January.
Internally, this surprise transfer, announced Thursday afternoon, caught everyone by surprise.
Starting with Laurent Guimier, the new head of news for France Televisions, who decided to withdraw it immediately from the presentation of the "13 Hours".
Now it's up to him to find the right person to embody this highly coveted position.
A clue?
“In an email sent to the teams, he made it clear that the talents are with us, at France Télévisions, underlines a potential candidate.
After this message, it would be really bad for him to debauch someone from outside.
"
On the management floor, it is specified that Laurent Guimier "wants to go quickly to work calmly".
With an appointment scheduled for next week.
In the meantime, Nathanaël de Rincquesen will take over the interim until Friday, September 25.
But several journalists are already waiting for their phone to ring, including the four other current jokers.
“A job like this one cannot be refused,” says one of them.
Especially since there is great freedom.
"
Nathanaël de Rincquesen, Karine Baste-Régis ...
Among the candidates in the starting blocks, there is of course
Nathanaël de Rincquesen
.
Since the summer of 2009, this former sports journalist, aged 48, has replaced Elise Lucet and then Marie-Sophie Lacarrau at the “13 Hours” of France 2 during part of their vacation.
He knows all about it.
Until 2019, he also presented some news from “Télématin”.
Friday, it is to him that Laurent Guimier asked the debotté to occupy the still hot chair of the presenter debauched by TF 1. Saturday morning at 9 am, the management will scrutinize the hearings of the day before with attention.
For her last newscast on La Deux, Marie-Sophie Lacarrau had gathered 2.1 million followers, or 18% of PDA.
But not sure that these criteria are decisive.
Besides
Sophie Le Saint,
Jean-Baptiste Marteau and Julien Benedetto,
another joker holds the rope:
Karine Baste-Régis.
Since 2019, she officiates alongside Laurent Bignolas for the news of "Télématin".
On the weekend of June 6-7, the former co-presenter of Samuel Etienne on the France Info channel was able to prove herself at the “13 Hours” of France 2, after appearing at the “Soir 3” of the weekend.
Little more, this Martinican journalist could benefit from the diversity bonus, one of the major commitments of the second five-year term of Delphine Ernotte, renewed this summer as president of France Télévisions.
On the same note, some executives of France Televisions are pushing for the option
Johanna Ghiglia
, the current presenter of the morning news of France Info.
If she still lacks experience, her ability to progress and her rigor could give her wings.
Unless the information directorate opts for
Emilie Tran Nguyen
, 35 years old.
Since 2016, date of her arrival at 12/13 of France 3, she has scored a lot of points.
After the departure of Maxime Switek for BFMTV, it is her that France 5 has chosen to embody the 5/5 of "C to you".
Another track considered: that of
Djamel Mazi
, who officiates at 5 to 20 hours of channel 27. The latter also replaced this summer Catherine Matausch at 12/13 and 19/20 weekend on France 3.
