Ok here we go again...

#4. What the fuck is Energie Network and what did you do for them?

Leading to the Radio world was the DJ Job I had in nightclubs here for most of my young age from 16 to almost 25. More details later on #14 ...

Moving from Djing to Radio production was the logic next step and an achievement for me at that time...

Energie Network is a Pop/Rock FM Radios Network. They were having about 14 stations here in the province of Quebec at that time. CKMF (94,3) Montreal is one of them. They are called Astral now and they are HUGE ...

I began at this job for another company in 87/88. I was producing the spots for station clients and also producing some pre-recorded shows for the week-ends.

Then in 89 I moved to "Energie", they moved me in "Trois-Rivières" for few years working at CIGB 102,1 FM, the station was just opening and the challenge was greater since that was a new format "niche" for the region.

PLUS, I was now the main producer there, not the second one like in Quebec City. I learned a lot there, it was the early years of MIDI systems and computers were not used at all at that time, everything was produced on tape on Multi-Track systems (24 tracks).

The only downside in TR, I've been brought there by a very nice man who was my program director. I've been very happy for few months until the company promote my actual Program Director which was my immediate superior, to General Manager. The new Program Director they sent from Montreal was the biggest scumbag you can imagine... Can I say psycho violence? Well, after few years it was me or him....

So I came back to Quebec for few months before being moved again to Montreal as Network Producer. That was a dream come true. Big Studios, latest technological equipments. I was producing 30sec promo spots for the other stations in the network... I stayed there until '93 when there was a rumor that the "scumbag" was coming back to town...

Lucky guy, I got an opportunity to come back in my hometown Quebec City working for Bell (read previous answer)
