Geneviève Pettersen Exits Cogeco Media in Bold Move
Geneviève Pettersen has made a significant decision to leave Cogeco Media, a move prompted by a conflict of values. The announcement was made on Monday and has garnered attention given her prominent role at 98,5 FM for over two years.
Pettersen’s Departure from Cogeco Media
In her statement, Pettersen emphasized the importance of aligning with organizations that share her values. She stated, “When that is no longer the case, I prefer to depart and focus on projects that reflect my beliefs.”
Background and Career at 98,5 FM
Until the spring of last year, Geneviève Pettersen hosted “Ça va aller loin,” the evening show on 98,5 FM. This show was not renewed for the current season, which led to uncertainty about her role within the station for a few weeks. Ultimately, she returned as a contributor and continued her work with Rythme, another station in the Cogeco group.
- Previously hosted “Ça va aller loin” on 98,5 FM.
- Produced the podcast “Parents d’ado : kit de survie.”
- Expressed disappointment in a recent interview about her evolving role.
Future Plans
In a recent interview with “Dans les médias” on Télé-Québec, Pettersen admitted her openness to exploring opportunities outside of Cogeco Media. She believes that female voices are increasingly crucial in today’s rapidly changing media, political, and social landscapes.
Changes in Programming at 98,5 FM
As Pettersen exits, it’s worth noting other shifts at 98,5 FM. Élisabeth Crête, who used to host the weekend program, is no longer part of the current lineup. Additionally, the collaboration with Antonine Yaccarini has also come to an end.
Geneviève Pettersen’s departure from Cogeco Media underscores a commitment to personal values in professional settings. Her next steps remain highly anticipated in the media industry.
