He will host his last show on June 18.
Before being at the helm of the show Saturday and nothing else, for 24 seasons, Joël Le Bigot animated from 1977 the morning daily CBF-Hello. In the company of Alcide Ouellet, Francine Grimaldi, Roger Laroche and Marc Laurendeau, he created a happy marriage between the serious tone required by the information and a more spiritual and light tone that listeners like to find when they wake up.
At the helm of the Saturday morning show since 1998 (he also hosted the Sunday morning show for a few years), Joël Le Bigot has made this show a landmark, if not a ritual, for his many listeners. His show has largely dominated the polls for many years in the Saturday morning slot in Montreal.
