Thank you for your interest in requesting a CBC Quebec personality for your event.

Please note that this form is for organizations wishing to have a moderator, host or panelist at their event, not to have a journalist cover an event. To request media coverage, please e-mail assignmentmontreal@cbc.ca.

To help CBC Quebec assess your host request, please complete the form from the link below at least 30 days prior to your event date.

Requests submitted during a shorter timeframe will be considered, however, we cannot guarantee participation from our staff. Please follow-up with your local Communications contact with any questions.

Please note:

While we will make best efforts to provide a host for your event, if the event takes place during or within one hour of the broadcast time for a host's program, it is unlikely that we will be able to accommodate your request.
