Sujet: Fin de la route à CHOM pour Terry DiMonte Mar 4 Mai 2021 - 23:55
Citation :
Son départ est une décision difficile, évoque-t-il par communiqué. « C’est très difficile de dire au revoir à quelque chose qui m’a apporté autant de bonheur. Je méditais là-dessus depuis quelques années. Il est temps d’entamer un nouveau chapitre… qui n’inclut pas de me réveiller chaque jour au milieu de la nuit ! »
“It’s a very difficult thing to walk away from something that has been so good to me and that I love so much,” said DiMonte in a news release. “It was a very tough decision for me to make, but one I’ve been pondering for a couple of years, and it is time for a new chapter… one that doesn’t include getting up in the middle of the night!”
Speaking of accommodations, DiMonte admits there was one his bosses at Bell Media apparently wouldn’t make when it came to allowing him choosing when to leave. His eight-year contract ends at the end of the month.
“As January and February went by, there were a bunch of changes in the building,” he said, “and it became apparent there wasn’t going to be a discussion about going past May 28. They came to me and said: ‘How about a retirement celebration?’ I said, ‘Why not? It’s a nice way to go out.’
“But I’m disappointed. Had there been a possibility we could have gone to the end of the year, we could have had a (staff) dinner party when COVID subsides. But given the current circumstances, that wasn’t to be.”
Looking forward, DiMonte doesn’t know where he’ll end up next. But as a guy who has been working seemingly every day since he was hired as a caddy at The Royal Montreal Golf Club at age 13, he knows what’s up this summer: “Absolutely nothing. I ain’t kidding ya’.”
Terry DiMonte animera sa dernière émission à CHOM le vendredi 28 mai prochain.

Terry DiMonte : boucler la boucle Terry DiMonte venait tout juste d’annoncer, en ondes, sa retraite comme morning man à CHOM FM. « C’est difficile d’imaginer la radio de Montréal sans toi », lui a dit la lectrice de nouvelles Trudie Mason. Pierre Houde, le chroniqueur de hockey de DiMonte, a rendu spontanément hommage à son ami. « J’en ai la gorge nouée », lui a répondu l’animateur, un sanglot dans la voix.
