Marc Denis, host of Fame Game, the CBC series which sets out to discover Canada's musical
groups with the most potential for a career in the field. Marc is host of the Montreal segments of the national search in the fall of 1984. A precursor television format to the Idol franchises still decades away, Fame Game Montreal has a panel of three judges: Radio deejay Doug Price (CHOM radio), Tommy Schnurmacher (Gazette Entertainment columnist) and the promotions executive at DKD Productions and Aquarius Records, Keith Brown. Executive producer and director for the Montreal Fame Game shows is Malcolm Charlton. When it is all said and done, the Montreal Fame Game series produces two winning bands which later compete with the winners from other markets across Canada in semi-finals leading to finals to win cash and a recording contract. The groups are "Welcome" and "Musical Digital Print". | ||
