Last week we told you that the legendary host Paul Houde had made the decision to resign from his post as morning show host BPM Sportsjust a few weeks after his appointment as successor Jean Charles Lajoie.
In the official press release, the main character simply said that he underestimated the demands of the morning post.
“I underestimated the demands of the morning show, which prevented me from offering a product that met my expectations. That’s why I asked BPM Sports to review my commitments and they agreed for us to work together on other projects.”

But in an interview with the journalist Jean-François Brassard from the magazine Echo starsThe famous presenter was more talkative and agreed to reveal important new information that led to his departure. Among other things, we learn that his doctor played a role in the final decision to leave his post.
“I had some physical warnings that my metabolism had not adapted to these times. I had to come to the conclusion that I couldn’t be at my best every morning. My doctor found that I couldn’t adapt to this big life.” Hearing the alarm clock at 3:30 a.m. isn’t necessarily easy. By 11 a.m. I was no longer of any use.

However, he mentions that the leaders of BPM Sports received the news with great understanding and even offered to continue working with him on other projects.
Paul Houde is currently considering the various offers in front of him and will make a decision about his future after catching up on lost sleep.
“They accepted it well and were extremely understanding with me. They realized that it was based on serious consideration on my part. I am studying the offers they have made to me very seriously. They look “extremely interesting. “I sleep for about three months” to recover. I could go into hibernation!”

Let’s see what project he will pursue for the rest of his career.
