Description

October 3 Montréal Montréal's first gay television programme began a trial run of sixteen weeks on Cablevision Nationale. The programme, containing news and interviews, was named "88" after Québec's Bill 88, which had added sexual orientation to Québec's Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms. The show was revived in January 1980, but only after some difficulties with Cablevision Nationale.
