  takes stock of the three journalists who seem to have their chances.

If no one is irreplaceable, the announced departure of Jean-Pierre Pernaut from the presentation of the

of TF1 implies a major challenge for the channel.

It will be necessary to find a successor or a successor to the one who embodied this information section for more than thirty years, by imprinting his very terroir brand… Review of the most probable avenues.

Jacques Legros

In the language of the television news, we call "joker" the one or the one who replaces the journalist on leave or on sick leave.

Jacques Legros is therefore the joker of Jean-Pierre Pernaut.

For two years, the faithful of the

have had the opportunity to see him a lot.

It was he who took over from the TF1 news star during his prostate operation and then during confinement.

It would therefore make a logical successor.

But is this really what he wants?

“I totally assume that I am just the joker.

And I am, not out of necessity, unlike perhaps others, but out of passion.

I love this journal.

I feel good on TF1.

I meet friends there every time I come there, ”Jacques Legros confided to TV Magazine this summer.

“Those who think that my popularity could exceed that of Jean-Pierre Pernaut are wrong.

Jean-Pierre is a star.

Me, I'm just famous, that's all.

There is a big nuance!

», Added the journalist who is 69 years old, one less than Jean-Pierre Pernaut.

Dominique Lagrou-Sempère

She too is a face well known to regulars at the

of the Premier Channel.

Dominique Lagrou-Sempère has spent most of her career as a journalist in the TF1 group, which she joined in 2001 just after graduating from ESJ.

In addition to presenting

on LCI - a program also embodied by Jean-Pierre Pernaut -, she appears regularly in the mid-day newspaper of TF1.

The one who likes to say that she has "two countries: the North and Normandy" seems just as attached to the French soils as her elder brother with whom she gets along perfectly.

"We transmit the soul of the regions because the national news is that of the regions, that of the whole of France, not necessarily that of Paris", she declared to Femme Actuelle this summer.

Asked at the time about taking over from JPP, she replied: “The question does not arise, we are not there yet.

»She arises today.

Audrey Crespo-Mara

Thierry Thuillier, the deputy general manager of the news of the TF1 group would have dismissed this Tuesday in a drafting conference the track Darius Rochebin.

"I like it, but it is unthinkable", he would have declared according to remarks reported by a colleague of the

.

The Swiss star journalist arrived barely a month ago on LCI to ensure the 20-hour slot, such a rapid change of post could seem rushed.

Why not Audrey Crespo-Mara?

Since the start of the school year, the journalist has been dealing with the portrait of

and remains “joker” of Anne-Claire Coudray.

“Being a joker is educational, but it's not an end in itself.

I won't do it for ten years, she told Ozap three years ago.

The newspaper is a race.

Either we refuse this race straight away, or we run.

And when you participate in a race, you want to be the first.

So we do everything to win.

Hasn't Audrey Crespo-Mara's turn come?
