Hello,

does Rythme FM broadcast the Ceremony ?

So we could follow the ceremony on the internet radio...

At what time do they start broadcasting from LaRonde ?

I'm not sure what time they start broadcasting - in anycase, the prize ceremony is usually somewhat earlier than the normal pre-display ceremonies. I think you need to start listening at around 21:00 Montreal time to be sure of hearing the results.

This year, Rythme FM is the new broadcaster of the Montreal International Fireworks Contest. Before, it was CITE Rock-Détente and this radio channel did not broadcast the closing ceremony, but I believe that the speaker announced the winners as soon as possible, between two songs. But, it remains possible that Rythme FM is going to change this tradition by broadcasting the ceremony...

As Paul wrote, the closing ceremony usually begins at 9:00pm and the results are disclosed a couple of minutes later, between 9:20 and 9:30pm, or something like that.

Do you guys know when they shoot up fireworks for the winners? I just want know so I know when to start walking on Notre-Dame. I want to be up front early tonight.

Is it also between 9:20 and 9:30? I think I remember this is the past years.

Trav,

You are right. There are one set of shells and some other pieces for each winner. These pieces explode each time that the name of a winning contestant is pronounced. So, it should be between 9:15 and 9:30. Be ready for 9:00pm, you will be sure to do not miss any thing.

Fred,

Thanks a lot! I figured that would be the case. It's funny that I still keep forgetting when it's actually time, especially since it has been 16 years!

I'm sure you also were surprised with tonight's results!

Trav.

I'm quite happy with Rythme FM. They broadcasted the resultats without any interruption! Never CITE attempted to do this. But I miss the host, Eric Godlin! lol

Though, I wish Rythme FM could broadcasts more of Michel Lacroix's speeches before the display instead of always putting songs!

Well, since I really didn't listen to the former station much, I can say that this one is informative and comprehensive! I had a good time listening just before 9 P.M all the way to when the winners were ready to be announced.

I think I will do this more often next season!

Trav.
