The current remit is crime and scandal
The official group profile describes a mix of documentaries, factual-reality material, films and fiction around crime and scandal. Those formats do not all make the same claims about real events. Identify the programme type before interpreting the story.
A fictional drama, a reconstructed factual case and an observational documentary can share suspenseful images. The synopsis and programme labels are more reliable than a dramatic thumbnail for determining which one you are watching.
MOI ET CIE is the relevant historical identity
Quebecor’s2025annual information states that MOI ET CIE became TÉMOIN on April 9, 2024. Keep the dated relationship in an old-favourite note. Do not count the former and current names as two independent current channels.
Also avoid carrying the old service’s remembered lifestyle expectations forward automatically. A brand transition can involve an editorial change. The current official programme description is the appropriate reference for tonight’s choice, rather than an older logo or archived promotion.
Read a factual case through its dates
For a real case, keep the event date, production context and current legal outcome separate. A programme aired tonight may describe an earlier stage. Allegation, trial, conviction and later appeal are different statuses and should not be blended into a dramatic summary.
If an exact outcome matters, consult current original official records. A television programme can explain a case without being its complete formal record. Treat reconstructed scenes as illustrations of an account rather than original recorded evidence unless the programme establishes otherwise.
Make the guide correction precise
If an old MOI ET CIE entry plays TÉMOIN, preserve the observed current brand and programme. Ask for a name or logo correction without inventing another channel. If the episode is wrong, record that separately.
For shared viewing, inspect the actual content guidance. Crime and scandal subjects can be disturbing even when a programme’s format is familiar. For a replay, use the current official route and confirm the title and version. A familiar former name or current logo does not establish permanent access to every programme or inclusion in a particular television service.
