TV Channel Overview
Based in Montreal, Quebec, ICI Radio-Canada Télé (ICI Télé) is CBC/Radio-Canada's
national French-language television network. It forms the French-language
counterpart to CBC Television within Canada's public broadcasting system
and serves Francophone audiences in Quebec and communities across other
parts of the country.
Television broadcasting began in 1952, when CBC/Radio-Canada stations were launched in Montreal and Toronto. Today, ICI TÉLÉ carries a general-interest schedule that brings together news and current affairs, drama and comedy, documentaries, cultural and arts programming, children's content, and other entertainment. Regional stations contribute reporting and programming that reflect local issues and Francophone communities in different provinces.
CBC/Radio-Canada operates French-language television stations in cities including Montreal, Quebec City, Ottawa, Toronto, Moncton, Winnipeg, Regina, Edmonton, and Vancouver. Within that structure, ICI TÉLÉ serves as the corporation's principal French-language general television network, while related French-language services focus on areas such as continuous news, arts, culture, and factual programming. This national and regional structure reflects the broadcaster's public-service role in Canada's French-language media environment.
