ICI TOU.TV, a French-language streaming service, offers primarily French and Québécois (French Canadian) content, including movies, series, documentaries, entertainment, etc. They also offer some content from English-speaking countries like the US, UK, and the rest of Canada. English-language content is generally dubbed in French, without subtitles.
ICI TOU.TV is geo-located and is only legally available in Canada.
CBC/Radio-Canada also offers an English-language streaming service, CBC Gem, which includes a large library of English-language content, as well as some French- and other foreign-language content. The non-English content is generally offered with English subtitles though, not dubbing.
CBC Gem and ICI TOU.TV are both free to watch in Canada, with ads. They also offer Premium, ad-free memberships for a reasonable monthly price ($5.99 and $7.99 before taxes, respectively). Premium membership with one service does not give you Premium access to the other—though they are both CBC/Radio-Canada streaming services, they each require their own membership.
Both services offer free trials, generally 7 days.
At launch, the site offered 2000 hours of French-language television content, near high definition in quality, provided by several TV channels, such as Ici Radio-Canada Télé, Ici RDI, Ici ARTV, Télé-Québec, TV5Monde, TV5 Québec Canada, TFO, Radio Canada International, RTS (Switzerland) and RTBF (Belgium).[1][2]
In February 2014, the site was re-branded as Ici TOU.TV as part of a plan to unify the CBC's French-language outlets around a single brand.[3][4]
In May 2018, it was announced that Bell Media, the National Film Board of Canada, TV5 Québec Canada, and V Media Group would contribute content to TOU.TV's premium Extra tier, as part of an effort to better compete with Netflix on the availability of Québécois and French-language content.[5] Other distributors such as Télé-Quebec later joined the partnership.
Bell Media left the partnership after the company's rival service, Crave, expanded into the French-language market. As a result, all of their content previously found on Ici TOU.TV has since moved to the aforementioned service. The V section was also removed later on after Bell Media bought the brand from V Media Group (now Remstar Media Group); it was the only brand the latter company licensed to Ici TOU.TV.
Contents found on the service mostly include original series from Radio-Canada's television networks and streaming services, as well as acquisitions from other distributors. While some can be watched for free with advertisement, those with the Extra label require a paid subscription to the service so that it can be accessed. Following the website rebrand in May 2018, contents are placed into sections such as the following:
