Télé-Québec announced that its programming will become available on three competing subscription streaming platforms beginning September 7, 2026. The public broadcaster’s catalogue will be added to Crave, illico+ and Tou.tv Extra, expanding the reach of its shows beyond its own distribution channels.
The move places Télé-Québec’s content alongside a range of other titles offered by the three services, which operate in the province of Quebec. By joining Crave, illico+ and Tou.tv Extra, the broadcaster will make its series, documentaries and other productions accessible to subscribers who already use these platforms for entertainment. The arrangement is scheduled to take effect on the same day, marking a coordinated launch across all three services.
The decision reflects Télé-Québec’s strategy to increase audience exposure by leveraging existing streaming infrastructure. While the broadcaster will continue to maintain its own presence, the partnership with the three platforms provides an additional avenue for viewers to discover its programming. The September 7 start date aligns with the upcoming season of several of the network’s flagship series, though specific titles were not disclosed. The three platforms will each carry the same Télé-Québec content, offering a uniform selection to their respective subscriber bases throughout Quebec.
