At the age of 14, René Lévesque was recommended to Charles Houde by his father, Dominique Lévesque, who was by that time, a lawyer in New Carlisle. He began an employment that would impassion him until the end of his days. Lévesque translated the dispatches from English to French, before reading them on the air. His Anglophone colleague, Stan Chapman, did the same for those dispatches arriving in French. Other well known personalities learned the trade of announcing on CHNC, such as Yves Thériault, Gérard-D.-Levesque and Pierre Dufresne. In 1936, Abbot Lionel Boisseau, parish priest of New Carlisle, began to broadcast a program of religious meditation on the airwaves of CNHC, which ended with his death in 1987. He also established the record for wireless radio longevity in Quebec.
