Gilles Proulx

Gilles Proulx (born April 5, 1940) is a historian, radio and television host in the province of Quebec, Canada. His radio career began in 1962, and he would retire as talk radio host on CHMP-FM forty-six years later on August 7, 2008. His brother, Jacques Proulx was the former morning man of another local station CKAC.

Gilles Proulx grew up in the Montreal neighbourhood of Verdun.

Proulx holds a Bachelor's in communications. He asserted that he earned a Master's in communications from Saint Louis University, in St. Louis, Missouri in 1986. On the January 10, 2007 episode of Les Francs-tireurs on Télé-Québec he claimed that he did not actually earn the diploma. The show's research team inquired about his claim to the university, who confirmed that Gilles Proulx was not among their alumni.

From 1979 to 1991, he taught a communications course at Université de Montréal, and was a guest lecturer on radio journalism at Université Cheikh Anta Diop in Dakar, Sénégal in 1983.

He was the news director at CKLM, a journalist on the show le Temps de vivre on Radio-Canada, and commentator on CKOI-FM.

After his return from Bosnia and Herzegovina in August 1994, he published a long report on the humanitarian aspect of the Canadian forces in La Presse.
