Point de mire

Point de mire was a popular Quebec information show on Radio-Canada that aired from 1956 to 1959. The television show is famous for being hosted by a future cabinet minister and Premier of Quebec, René Lévesque. A trademark of the show was the pedagogy of Lévesque, explaining with a chalkboard and clarifying world events to his viewers. This same technique developed at Point de mire he would later use often on television, or in person, to explain political plans and convictions, ranging from the nationalization of electricity during the Quiet Revolution to Quebec independence.

Canada in View

Canada in View was a Canadian documentary series aired on several stations affiliated with the CTV Television Network from the late 1980s to early 1990s. The program was co-operatively produced by participating stations, each contributing long-form documentaries about local issues on a rotating basis. Although it apparently aired solely on CTV affiliates, it is not clear whether the program was ever officially part of CTV's network schedule. The series used a loophole in CRTC regulations of the era, which allowed each station involved in the production of such a series to count it as a "local" program for the purposes of fulfilling its conditions of licence, even if the program did not contain local content on a weekly basis. Since production responsibilities were rotated among all stations, participation in Canada in View could thus dramatically reduce a given station's local production requirements. The CRTC announced in 1989 it would close the loophole for information and sports programming, which included Canada in View, though it provided a temporary reprieve for existing productions, but only until the end of participating stations' licence terms. In most cases this was August 1994, by which point the series had disappeared. Whether this decision directly led to the demise of the series is unclear; one columnist would later place the blame on Baton Broadcasting for pulling out of the series.

Véro

Véro was a Canadian talk show hosted by Véronique Cloutier, which aired on Radio-Canada. The show originally aired Monday through Thursday live at 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and also aired live over much of the country from Manitoba eastward, though tape delayed at 5:00 p.m. in Mountain and Pacific time zones. The placement at 8:00 p.m. displaced the hour-long regional Le Téléjournal newscasts in Quebec and Ontario, moving the program back a half-hour to 5:00 p.m. ET, dislodging the regional portion from 6:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Le Téléjournal followed Véro at 6:00 p.m. local time from Manitoba westward, and in the Maritimes, where it preceded Véro at 6:00 p.m. AT. At the new timeslot, the newscast was watched by only 8% of the audience; in the previous year, the newscast averaged 10% of the audience. After airing the final hour-long episode on December 8, Radio-Canada changed course and the news returned at 6:00 p.m. on December 12, now with the regional segment first. Then Vice-President of CBC/Radio-Canada, Robert Rabinovitch, called the original displacement of the news peut-être une erreur: perhaps a mistake. Véro would return after the winter hiatus, with a modified format: a half-hour every weekday at 5:00 p.m. starting January 9, 2006.

Bomber Boys: The Fighting Lancaster

Joe English learned to fly a Lancaster bomber before he could drive a car. During World War Two, RAF Bomber Command called upon young men barely out of their teens to fly some of the most dangerous missions of the entire war. In 1943, the life expectancy of an air gunner was just three minutes in combat. For every 100 Bomber Command aircrew, only 24 would survive their tour... Now, Joe English is reunited with the five other surviving aircrew from RAF 625 Squadron Lancaster 'The Lucky H' to tell their stories for the very first time. Joined by other surviving Bomber Command veterans, they provide a powerful and moving insight into life - and death - as one of the 'Bomber Boys'.

Le Téléjournal

Le Téléjournal is the umbrella title used for the television newscasts aired on the Radio-Canada broadcast network. Le Téléjournal has been used since 1970 as the title of the network's flagship newscast, originating from Montreal, Quebec, and considered the French language equivalent of the English CBC's The National. Other local and national newscasts airing on Radio-Canada adopted variants of the Téléjournal title beginning in the early 2000s. Local newscasts on Radio-Canada stations, previously known as Ce Soir, are also now branded as Le Téléjournal, usually followed by the name of the city or region, e.g. Le Téléjournal/Québec on CBVT-DT in Quebec City. The Montreal program is now known as Le Téléjournal Grand Montréal 18h. The network's national midday newscast, previously Le Midi and L'heure du midi, was also renamed Le Téléjournal/Midi in the early 2000s. In 2006, its breakfast newscast, Matin Express, was rebranded as Le Téléjournal/matin.
