YTV to air MD telethon coast to coast this fall

Next September, ytv will provide the Muscular Dystrophy Association of Canada with a national telecast of its Labour Day Telethon. It’s the first time in the show’s 25-year run in Canada that it will receive Canada-wide distribution by a single broadcaster.

Radio-Quebec will air the show in French, and English-speaking Quebecers will be able to see it on ytv.

The telethon airs from 8 p.m. Sept. 4 to 8 p.m. Sept. 5, raising money for research on neuromuscular disorders.
