Marc Denis... through the

It all begins at Collège Bourget in Rigaud, Québec in 1968 when Marc Denis and some student friends set up CBRV, the college radio station.
During the Eighties, Marc Denis takes over “PM Drive”
at CJFM / FM 96 Montréal followed
by the weekend oldies show “La
Fièvre du samedi soir” on CKAC 73 and later
joining the ranks of CKOI-FM, becoming the
first host of its popular “Décompte”
countdown program among other duties.
Still in the Eighties, Marc Denis appears on several lifestyle television programs
in Montréal as a pop music reviewer
and new gadgets presenter or as host
on both English and French television,
CFCF 12, CBC, Télé-Métropole
