He was born in Drummondville, Quebec on July 3, 1955. His career started at the local radio station CHRD-AM, in 1974.
After short stints in Ottawa and Quebec, he settled in Montreal and started to work for CKOI-FM in 1976.
While being a DJ (1982-2002) for CHOM-FM, he spoke English language with a marked French Canadian accent that was liked by his radio audience. In the 1980s, Rajotte was in the habit of continually switching from English to French during his broadcasts. With his unmistakable accent, Francophones connected immediately, however, that did not detract Anglophone listeners, leading to complaints from CHOM's main competitor at the time, the Francophone radio station CKOI, Rajotte's former employer. Canada's broadcasting regulators, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), ruled that CHOM DJs were not allowed to speak in French on the air, despite the requirement that CHOM must broadcast a certain proportion of French language songs.
Claude Rajotte was also a fixture for over 17 years (1987-2004) on MusiquePlus (a channel resembling American MTV). He was a VJ and a much appreciated album critic. His review show called 'Le Cimetière des CD' was on the air for ten consecutive years. He was also a regular host of the channel's alternative video show, Nu Musik.
Some say he's a walking musical encyclopedia. His diverse tastes in music can liken him to such people as BBC's John Peel, for instance, at the Quebec scale.
Claude Rajotte is currently a host/DJ/radio producer for Radio-Canada's Espace Musique network. He is on the air Saturdays and Sundays from 10 PM to midnight (Montreal time). To listen to his radio programs right now, click here: [4]
