The month of April is a headache for telephiles. Between the gradual exodus of regular shows and the arrival of new spring releases, schedules change every week and it seems impossible to follow the common thread…unless you dissect that program crossroads.

At Télé-Québec, things are much simpler. Brilliant, it’s worth the cost i eat, in the media, the mcsween index and the company all wrapped up. Only a hint of winter remains: Two Golden Men and Rosalie, who is doing her last lap on Friday.
Less fiction
Since we generally see a 20% drop in viewership as the first buds hatch, according to Cossette Media figures, generalists schedules are much less rich in original literature in spring than in winter.
A few series are still on the programme, most of them on ICI Télé: Eaux turbulentes (Season 2) starts on Tuesday at 8pm, La Maison-Bleue (Season 3) on April 10 at 7:30pm and Lou et Sophie continue April 27 at 8 p.m. The public broadcaster also offers the four new episodes of Un gar, une fille en burst from Monday, April 24 to Thursday, April 27 at 7 p.m. Previously, this revival was only offered to subscribers of ICI Tou.tv Extra.

How much do you love me ?
Regarding the meeting of Marc Labrèche, I’ll come to you, it starts on Tuesday April 11 at 8 p.m. According to Isabelle Fournier, Director, Lead Activation Media, at Cossette Media, Noovo’s spring offering will win over audiences.
Since Bell Media bought Noovo, we’ve really felt a shift in programming. There is a nice variety that prevails. Marc Labrèche’s talk show arouses curiosity. And Survivor Quebec is a full-scale reality show. It is believed that more people will turn to Noovo this season. Much more so than it used to be, when it was mostly about covers and movies.
