My guess is Loubardious took the job on as color on radio with a promise that doing that for a couple years would get him back to get into a PBP gig somewhere at Snet, whether it be on the radio with the Flames, somewhere else, or on TV in some capacity.
Recall he jumped the queue and took over from Roger Millions somewhat quickly, and then was dumped for Rob Kerr, so he's seen both sides of how that goes on TV.
At the same time, I'm sure that Snet backed out of whatever promise they made him back when (Snet has changed a fair bit since then) and he didn't want to toil on radio behind Wills any more.
