L'épicerie has maintained a steady Annual rhythm for 22 years, typically returning in September. Since its debut in 2002, this consumer-focused program has served as a reliable anchor for Radio-Canada's Wednesday night lineup. It consistently bridges the gap between investigative journalism and everyday utility, making it a permanent fixture in the French-Canadian television landscape.
The show follows the traditional broadcast television model, launching its primary season in the fall and continuing through the spring. Its longevity is attributed to its ability to adapt to changing food trends and economic shifts while maintaining a familiar format. For over two decades, the series has rarely deviated from its autumnal premiere schedule, reinforcing its status as a staple for viewers seeking practical advice on nutrition and grocery shopping.
