Fred Latremouille (October 21, 1945 – March 5, 2015) was a Canadian radio personality and actor.
He began working in broadcasting in Alberta and soon moved to Vancouver, where he began in broadcast radio in 1962 at the age of 17.[1]
In 1967, he acted as co-editor for the newly-created Georgia Straight alternative weekly newspaper. The role included sidewalk sales and a telephone interview with musician John Lennon.[1] Latremouille had been replaced by Red Robinson as the emcee for the Beatles Empire Stadium concert in 1964 due to mononucleus.[3]
As an actor, he appeared in the movies A Man, a Woman and a Bank (1979), The Changeling (1980), The Plutonium Incident (1981) and Jane Doe (1983).[4] He worked as an on-air host at the CBC, CFUN, KISS FM, [CHMJ][1] and Clear-FM.[4]
In 2003, he and his wife hosted provincial Premier Gordon Campbell for a dinner during their holiday in Hawaii. After leaving, Campbell was charged by Hawaiian police for drunk driving which created controversy in his home province.[1]
In 2006, Latremouille and his spouse and longtime co-host Cathy Baldazzi came out of retirement and launched a morning show on Clear-FM.[5][6]
Latremouille was inducted into the B.C. Entertainment Hall of Fame in 2006 and was named to the Canadian Association of Broadcasters’ Hall of Fame the following year.[1][7]
