The month of April gives headaches to telephiles. Between the gradual exodus of regular programs and the arrival of new spring releases, the schedules change every week, and following the thread seems impossible… unless you dissect this crossover of programming.
First, let’s list the titles that have already retreated. On ICI Télé, Les petits tannants and 5e rang left the air last week. The eye of the storm closes its season tonight, Heart beating tomorrow, Live from the universe on Saturday, Zenith on April 13, STAT on April 20, Everyone talks about it on April 23 and Infoman in early May.
On TVA, the Hôtel, Nous, Le bonheur, Les moments parfaits, Léo, Les bracelets rouges and L’échappée series are already a thing of the past. The final of Alerts will be presented tonight, and that of Indefensible on April 27. On the variety side, The Voice will turn off on Sunday, as will True Nature. The tower will stand until April 27. The next day, It ends well the week will slip away, and Stéphan Bureau will animate a last World upside down. Fans of Get Me Out Of Here, you can breathe: the adventure continues until May 14.
On Noovo, the third season of Big Brother Celebrities is officially over. The other Bell Media network properties are bowing out over the next few days, including Les imposteurs, La Semaine des 4 Julie and L’amour est dans le pré.
Things are much simpler at Télé-Québec. Great, It’s worth the cost, I eat, In the media, The McSween index and company have all packed up. Only one hint of winter remains: Two Golden Men and Rosalie, who will do her last lap on Friday.
Since with the hatching of the first buds, we generally observe a 20% reduction in listening, according to the figures provided by Cossette Media, the schedules of generalists are much less rich in original fiction in spring than in winter.
A few series are nevertheless on the program, most of them on ICI Télé: Eaux turbulentes (season 2) begins Tuesday at 8 p.m., La Maison-Bleue (season 3) on April 10 at 7:30 p.m., and Lou et Sophie on April 27 at 8 p.m. h.

On TVA, the third season of The Island of Love, starring Olivier Dion and Geneviève Schmidt, will monopolize the 9 p.m. box on weekdays next Monday (April 10). The first batch of single islanders has just been announced, and among our favorite descriptions, Destiny, a 21-year-old beautician, tops the list: “Sometimes magician, she knows how to make hats out of balloons.” »

As for Marc Labrèche’s meeting, I come to you, it will kick off on Tuesday April 11 at 8 p.m. According to Isabelle Fournier, director, media activation lead, at Cossette Media, Noovo’s spring offer will win over the audience.
At Télé-Québec, A chef at the cabin resumes service on Friday at 8 p.m. And to keep the followers of Y’a du monde à messe, which will return on May 12, waiting, the broadcaster is offering La grande messe, a series of four intimate interviews led by Christian Bégin with Mariana Mazza, Paul Houde, Denise Bombardier and Luc Ferrandez , which will occupy the 9 p.m. slot on Fridays starting April 14.
“When winter is over, people want to go outside,” says Isabelle Fournier of Cossette Media. The weather greatly influences the ratings. If the weather is nice, delayed listening will increase. »
