New challenge for Nathalie Marquay-Pernaut. After having played comedy in “Les vacances de l’amour” or “Sous le soleil”, demonstrated her strategic spirit in “Les traitors” and drawn on her reserves most recently in “The Island” on M6, Miss France 1987 will give voice. From Monday February 3, 2025, the one who has already hosted television shows will co-host with Lionel Guillaume the morning show of the regional radio Forum (which belongs to the 1981 Group, leader of independent radios in France) announce our colleagues from “Parisien” this Friday, January 24. Based in Orléans (Loiret), this station is broadcast in several departments in the Centre-Val de Loire, Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Pays de la Loire regions.
“I’m going to get up at 5 o’clock.”
For this first experience in radio at the controls of the “Reveil Collector”, scheduled every day from 6 to 10 a.m., Nathalie Marquay-Pernaut will have to “change your habits“. “I’m going to get up at 5 o’clock“, confided to the “Parisien” the one who never falls asleep “never before 1:30 a.m.“. “It will sting at first, but my body will quickly get used to it. Doing radio won’t be work for me, but fun!” assures the former host of “101 stars and their incredible change of silhouette” (broadcast on E! Entertainment in 2006) and of “La Haute-Marne, c’est already tomorrow” (on Demain TV in 2007-2008).

-Olivia Valli, deputy director of management, branches and promotion of the 1981 Group, is full of praise for her new recruit. “His spontaneity and kindness make him an ideal voice. Alongside Lionel Guillaume, she will bring that touch of authenticity and dynamism which is the strength of our radio“. Lionel Guillaume, who worked for RTL2, RFM and Rire et songs before landing on Forum, is happy to share the microphone with Nathalie Marquay-Pernaut. “I met her at the La Forêt des Livres literary fair, at Gonzague Saint-Bris, in Touraine. I was waiting to interview him, because there was an incredible line at his booth. People who asked him for a dedication told him intimate things with complete confidence. I told myself that it would almost be enough to plug in a microphone to make an interactive radio show“, he tells our colleagues.
In a press release from the station, the ex-“TPMP” columnist confides that she “looking forward to sharing moments of joy, exchange and good humor every morning with Forum listeners“on a medium, the radio,”warm and close to people“.
