Le Téléjournal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Le Téléjournal is Radio-Canada's evening television newscast, originating from Montreal, Quebec and the French language equivalent of the English CBC's The National.
Local newscasts on Radio-Canada stations are also now branded as Le Téléjournal followed by the name of the city or region, e.g. Le Téléjournal Montréal on CBFT in Montreal. Until the early 2000s, local newscasts were separately branded as Ce Soir (This Evening). In 2006, Radio-Canada's breakfast newscast, Matin Express, was rebranded as Le Téléjournal/matin.

[edit] Primetime edition
The flagship newscast is anchored by Bernard Derome on Mondays to Thursdays and Céline Galipeau from Fridays to Sundays. The newscast airs live at 9PM ET on RDI and 10PM local time (11PM in the Maritimes, 11:30PM in Newfoundland) on the local Radio-Canada stations.
Derome anchored the program from 1970 to 1998, when he was replaced by Stéphan Bureau. Bureau anchored the program from 1998 until 2003, when he was replaced by Gilles Gougeon. Derome was brought back as anchor in 2004 in an effort to return the program to its earlier success. He is set to retire once again in January 2009. He will be replaced by Galipeau as weekday anchor, with Pascale Nadeau succeeding Galipeau as the weekend anchor.[1]
[edit] Local Téléjournals
Local newscasts under the Téléjournal name air on nearly all stations in the SRC network. SRC itself has editorial control of all such newscasts, including on private affiliates not owned by the network itself. (Privately-owned CKRN-TV in Rouyn-Noranda rebroadcasts CBFT's Le Téléjournal Montréal.) The newscasts run for 30 minutes, except for Ontario and some Quebec stations, where it runs for an hour.
