Marcelle Barthe

Marcelle Barthe (26 September 1904 – 24 November 1964) was a Canadian radio personality and writer.

Barthe began her radio career in 1933 on CKCH's daily women's program Pour vous Mesdames, under the pseudonym Françoise.

The role made her the first bilingual woman employed as an announcer on the channel.

At the same time, she wrote, directed, and starred in a variety of children's programs for the station.

Prior to the Second World War, she travelled to Europe to study other national radio in countries including France, England, and Italy.
