Winnipeg-born television and radio host Chantal Desjardins is joining Energy 106 as the station’s new afternoon drive host.
Evanov Communications announced Monday that Desjardins, also a comedian and voice actor, will host weekdays from 2-6 p.m. beginning today.
Desjardins has spent the past 20 years in Montreal, most recently co-hosting mornings on CHOM 97.7. She was also heard on Virgin Radio Montreal and CJAD 800, including anchoring Montreal Canadiens broadcasts on Sportsnet, hosting “Breakfast Television” and reporting for CTV Montreal.
“I’m so excited to be back in my hometown,” said Desjardins in a statement. “I’ve had an amazing time in Montreal and Toronto, doing stand-up, television and radio, but there’s nothing like coming home, especially at this stage of my life and career. My kids will get to spend time with their grandparents, and I get to spend every afternoon yakking on air to my favourite people — Winnipeggers!”
The current East St. Paul, Man. resident recently listed her nearly $2 million lakefront Quebec home on the market.
It’s official! ??? So excited to announce that I’m the new Afternoon Drive Host on @energy106fm!
Starting Monday, I’ll be keeping you company every weekday from 2–6 PM. Can’t wait to get started — Winnipeg, let’s have some fun! ?? pic.twitter.com/6a3sH197Aa
