Télé-Québec, the public broadcaster for the province of Quebec, announced that its programming will become available on three subscription‑based streaming platforms beginning September 7, 2026. The move places the broadcaster’s shows on Crave, illico+ and Tou.tv Extra for the upcoming fall television season.
The three services – Crave, illico+ and Tou.tv Extra – will each carry a selection of Télé‑Québec’s content as part of their regular line‑ups. The arrangement is scheduled to start on the first day of the fall season, aligning with the launch of new programming across the province’s media landscape.
By extending its reach to competing streaming services, Télé‑Québec aims to broaden access to its shows for viewers who subscribe to these platforms. The public broadcaster has not disclosed the exact titles that will be featured, but the inclusion of its programming on three distinct services signals a coordinated effort to be present across multiple digital outlets.
The decision comes as part of Télé‑Québec’s strategy for the 2026‑2027 broadcast year, positioning the network alongside other commercial providers in the region. The rollout will be effective across Quebec, where the broadcaster holds its mandate to deliver French‑language content to the public. The addition of Télé‑Québec’s catalogue to Crave, illico+ and Tou.tv Extra will be available to subscribers of those services beginning September 7, marking a notable expansion of the public broadcaster’s distribution channels for the fall season.
