This one is a bit old, but I haven’t noticed much coverage of it in the anglo media: TQS has signed a deal with UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) to air 52 hours of UFC programming in Quebec, including four live matches, the first one on April 1. The programming will be produced by IDI, the production company of Marc Trudeau and Anne-Marie Losique, who I guess want a little violence to combine with their sex.

It’s a pretty big step for the bankrupt television network whose budget was so small it couldn’t put a simple entertainment news program on the air without it becoming a laughing stock.
