It combines the power of 10 television networks, 24 radio stations, 13 digital billboards and 18 websites. In all, close to 85% of all French-speaking Quebecers (25 to 54 year olds) are exposed to THE WORKS and more than 90% in the Montreal French market in a single week. THE WORKS is available throughout Quebec, with a focus on Montreal. Four times a day, a multi-platform blitz is broadcast on Astral television, radio, out-of-home and web properties.
