In the fall, two programs will share the slot left vacant in the afternoon by the end of The more the merrier, the more we read. First, from 1 p.m. to 1:30 p.m., the boys from The Evening is still young will be back on the air with a new format. Then, former columnist Émilie Perreault will take over with a one-and-a-half-hour program devoted to culture and literature.
After ending the cult weekend show The Evening is still young, Jean-Philippe Wauthier and his two acolytes, Jean-Sébastien Girard and Olivier Niquet, will be at the helm from September 5 of The day is still young, a 30-minute format more focused on current affairs than was The evening.
Then from 1:30 p.m. until 3 p.m., Émilie Perreault, who was a long-time columnist on the Paul Arcand program at 98.5, will present the new cultural event. In an interview with Patrick Masbourian on Wednesday, the host assured that literature would have a special place in her new show, which will also air on September 5.
Remember that the literary community had raised some concerns about the place of literature in the media when Radio-Canada announced in April the end of The more the merrier, the more we read, hosted by Marie-Louise Arsenault for more than a decade.
However, Radio-Canada announced on Wednesday that in addition to Émilie Perreault’s daily meeting, where books will be discussed, a new weekly program devoted specifically to literature will be included in the schedule starting in the fall. . tell me what you read will be presented by host Karyne Lefebvre.
