The hit sports reality TV series 24CH will be making its debut on CTV Montreal, as the station will be showing the latest episodes, in their English-language form, on Saturdays at 4:30 p.m. starting on Nov. 16.
Subsequent episodes of the show, which gives viewers priveleged access to the Montreal Canadiens behind closed doors, will be shown weekly in the same time slot until the end of the NHL regular season schedule in mid-April.
“There is no bigger sports property in this market than the Montreal Canadiens,” said Louis Douville, Vice-President and General Manager, CTV Montreal. “Hockey fans will be able to follow every move of their favourite players throughout the season. We are very excited to showcase this intriguing, behind-the-scenes look at Les Glorieux.”
The program, which began last season, has caused a buzz among hockey fans who have taken to discussing various events from the show – some controversial, some amusing - on internet discussion forums.
24CH also airs on TSN and TSN2, while its French version airs on Canal D, RDS and RDS2.
Bell TV subscribers also get access to a more complete version, called 24CH Premiere which is made available 24 hours prior to each week's new offering through a variety of digital platforms.
