Its channel mixes street interviews, documentary reportage and society explainers, with election road-trip coverage during the recent campaign. Its recent uploads include a Montreal metro feature, a Courrier recommandé session with local artists, and a health explainer. The channel is more about editorial voice than polish.

The channel has about 49,700 subscribers and a median of about 1,300 views per video, with a 90-day upload pace of 46 videos. Sponsorship activity is light.

At a rate of $20 to $35 per 1,000 median views, a sponsored integration runs about $30 to $45 per video, which is a CPM of $20 to $35 versus $10 to $30 for paid ads. Brands seeking a French-Quebec audience for health or cultural messaging should book this channel.
