2012 Quebec student tuition boycott

CUTV gained visibility [1] during the 2012 spring for its live coverage of protests held against Plan Nord, as well as protests held in the Greater Montreal area pertaining to the planned $1,625 tuition hike.

The station used a broadcast system that allowed them to send images live over the cellular phone network, allowing them to go to places that traditional television network news journalists could not go with their satellite trucks. As well their images went out live, rather that delayed, and they offered an alternative perspective on the events. [2]
