Every Sunday, from 1957 to 1978, Radio-Canada broadcast the bowling program L’heure des quilles. The hosts were, in turn, Roger Baulu, Michel Normandin, Raymond Lebrun and Guy Ferron, accompanied by the play-by-play announcer Yvon Blais. As an indication of the astounding popularity of this bowling program at the time, in 1961, L’heure des quilles attracted some 2.6 million TV viewers.
