Montreal, January 21st 2010 - Morning radio is about to take a punch.  CHOM 97.7 is thrilled to announce the arrival of PJ Stock to its broadcasting team.  Starting February 3rd, PJ Stock will join “Bad Pete” Marier and Chantal Desjardins as co-host of the CHOM 97.7 Morning Show.  A native Montrealer, PJ Stock will add his very unique take on sports, life and rock ’n roll to morning radio.

Biting his tongue is not something PJ Stock practices.  He is outspoken, opinionated, and ready to drop the gloves when speaking out about what he believes.  After playing in the NHL, his sports credibility is unquestioned.  He knows it because he lived it.

In anticipation of his new role, PJ Stock said, “I’m very excited for the opportunity to work with some really great people on a station that is as much Montreal as poutine and bagels”.

PJ Stock has been on radio as a commentator and host for 3 years, and is currently a guest commentator on L’Antichambre on RDS, and is also a member of the Hockey Night in Canada television team.
