21 Nov 07 Terry DiMonte to leave CHOM 97.7 FM and Montreal for Q107 in Western Canada

Just got this stunning news from Astral Media – parent company of CHOM FM… When I saw the headline I first though… OK, where in Montreal is Terry going now – considering he has bounced around pretty much all of the major Montreal English stations…But to see him leave Montreal…. I’ve been a Terry DiMonte fan and listener since my teen years…

We’ll miss ya Terry. I hope your next gig out West will be accessible over the Internet.

Some sad news to share with you today. Morning man Terry DiMonte is leaving CHOM.

Terry is moving on to a new opportunity in Western Canada. If you’re a fan of Terry, then you know his love for the West. We know this comes as a shock. Terry’s been a large part of our lives and will be missed tremendously.

Terry DiMonte says, “I had quite a decision to make. Montreal is my home, it’s where I feel like I belong, but life is a series of forks in the road. I’ve always been up for a challenge and I believe my success is tied to the risks I’ve taken. It was a tough decision but I’ve decided to throw caution to the wind and take on a new challenge. I’ll miss my loyal listeners who followed me from CHOM to MIX 96 to CJAD 800 and back to CHOM 97.7 completing my circle. Most of all, I’ll miss sitting with one my best friends every morning, Ted Bird”.

Terry’s last day is this Friday.

We know this will be a change to your daily morning routine and we assure you we’ll make the change as seamless as we can.

Tune in Friday to hear Terry’s last day on CHOM and who will be joining Ted Bird and Kim Rossi on the CHOM Morning show on Monday.
