ICI TOU.TV is a French Canadian, video-on-demand website launched on January 26, 2010, by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, currently branded CBC/Radio-Canada.
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.
