TV Channel Overview
Télé-Québec is Quebec's French-language public educational and cultural
television broadcaster, headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Operated
by the Société de télédiffusion du Québec, it serves audiences across the
province with programming designed to support learning, reflection, cultural
expression, and awareness of Quebec's regional diversity.
The schedule spans children's and family programming, documentaries, arts and culture, knowledge-based programs, and content addressing social and public-interest issues. Télé-Québec also maintains regional teams across Quebec, allowing its television and cultural work to reflect communities beyond Montreal and to bring attention to artists, local perspectives, and regional realities.
The organization was created in 1968 as Radio-Québec, and its television network began operating in 1975 with stations in Montreal and Quebec City. It officially adopted the Télé-Québec name in 1996. Through its province-wide educational and cultural mandate, the broadcaster combines television programming for younger audiences with documentaries, cultural content, and programs that encourage discovery and discussion of contemporary Quebec society.
