TF1 's lunchtime news bulletin, the "13 Heures" (1pm) since 1988, Pernaut's combination of avuncular personality and authoritative delivery has made him one of France's most popular news readers.Also editor-in-chief of the bulletin, Pernaut has long promoted a deliberate policy of regional content in each edition, usually running items about local culture and traditional crafts towards the end of the broadcast.
The approach has won a regular audience of between seven and eight million for the "13 Heures", a considerable figure for a lunchtime news programme.
He is also the longtime presenter of "Combien ça coûte ?" ("How much does that cost?"), a monthly consumer programme, again on
TF1 .The partner of former
Miss France ,Nathalie Marquay , Pernaut published his best-selling memoirs, "Pour tout vous dire...." ("To tell you everything..." ), in 2005. Shortly before that, he published two volumes of "Les magnifiques métiers de l'artisanat" ("Splendid trades of the craft industry"), which were glossy, but informative, tomes devoted to the subjects which have made his news bulletins so distinctive.References
