It was the host Louis Lacroix who announced it on air a few days ago, Paul Arcand will be back at the helm of the show Since you have to get up at 98.5 FM, starting January 8.
The management of the Cogeco station confirmed Wednesday The Press that the convalescence of its star host is well and truly over.
Remember that Arcand withdrew from the airwaves on November 13, for medical reasons. Louis Lacroix took over as interim this fall, and is currently on the morning microphone for the holiday period.
During the absence of the “king of the airwaves”, the flagship show of 98.5 lost some listeners. However, Since you have to get up remained at the top of the ratings in the Montreal region, according to the most recent survey from the Numeris firm, released at the beginning of December.
Paul Arcand will return to his position for only a few months. He will leave 98.5 in June 2024, after 20 years in the station’s “morning man” chair. At the start of the fall school year, he will be replaced by the columnist of The PressPatrick Lagacé, who is at the helm of the show Quebec nowsince August 2019.
