My Best Guess: Um...voudriez-vous entendre des emissions de radio de Quebec? Sirius l'a avec le Premiere plus.According to Sirius: Première plus features newscasts, magazines as well as cultural and current affairs programming in French. These include the most popular network programming from the Première Chaîne (Indicatif présent, Maisonneuve en direct, Fréquence libre, Désautels, Des idées plein la tête, Dimanche magazine, Les années lumière, Par 4 chemins) and some regional shows (C’est bien meilleur le matin from Montréal and Les arts et les autres, produced in Ontario).
Curt's Rebuttal: I had dig into my high school French, as well as an internet-based English-to-French translator for my thing, so I'd go with their description if I were you.
Sample Playlist: Now, I couldn't understand 99% of what was being said, apart from the occasional "Aujourd'hui" and "Les Etats-Unis," so I'm not really sure what was being said for the most part...but you could tell what some of the content was from their tone of voice.
- Newscasts: A very matter of fact tone...you can almost see them reading off a teleprompter.
- Reports from the Field: Take the "Newscast," have it end with saying a person's name, then switch to a totally different person, who is obviously not in the studio with the original speaker. This second person will often switch shortly to another person, who is being quoted as saying something, then back to the second person...then back to the first.
- Interview: Two people talking, very calmly, with the interviewer sounding as if they are setting up a question, and the interviewee calmly answering.
- Debate: More heated and faster talking among two or more people...often talking over one another.
- Morning Talk: Or whatever you'd call the banter that goes on between two or more co-hosts, usually associated with morning talk shows. Like a debate, with talking over each other, but much more relaxed with more laughter.
Verdict: Non.
