About Télé-Québec
Télé-Québec is Quebec's public educational and cultural television channel, created in 1968 and first known as Radio-Québec. It is home to kids' shows and cultural programming, and many Quebecers grew up watching its youth programs.
It suits families looking for French-language shows for children, and adults curious about culture, science and society in Quebec. It is also a helpful resource for newcomers learning French, since kids' programs often use clear, simple language. Many programs can be watched online, which makes it easy to fit into daily routines at home.
