Kolter Bouchard (born 1991) is a Canadian radio and online personality based in Toronto. He co-hosted the afternoon drive program on CFNY-FM (102.1 The Edge) from late 2018 until March 2024, first with Meredith Geddes and from May 2023 with Casey-Jo Loos.[1] Bouchard was diagnosed with Stage 2 Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2020 when he was in his late twenties and is in remission.[2]
Bouchard left Corus and CFNY in March 2024 to become a full-time content developer. Bouchard has a TikTok following of 589,000 and another 272,000 on Instagram.[3]
He is a graduate of the RTA School of Media at Ryerson University (now Toronto Metropolitan University).[4] While at Ryerson, he was a host on campus radio station CKLN-FM and also a member of its board of directors.[5]
After graduating, Bouchard worked as the morning host on CJDC-AM in Dawson Creek, British Columbia from 2013 to 2015 when he went to Dubai to work co-hosting the afternoon drive show on English-language radio station Channel 4 FM for two years. Returning to Toronto, he worked as a fill-in announcer at Q107 until moving to sister station CFNY in 2018.[6]
It is alleged that Bouchard is bisexual, due to a conversation with a fan on CFNY where he had flashbacks of his ex-boyfriend. [citation needed] In the same conversation, he stated that he is happily married to his wife.
