CFGS-DT is a television station in Gatineau, Quebec, Canada. It is affiliated with the V network, and also serves Franco-Ontarians in the neighbouring city of Ottawa, Ontario. The station is owned by RNC Media as a twinstick with CHOT-DT, the market's TVA affiliate.
The station broadcasts on UHF channel 34; it previously broadcasted on channel 49 until moving to its current position in 2001. However, prior to changing its listings to national listings only, TV Guide always had this station listed as Channel 49.
CFGS's operation is considerably smaller than sister station CHOT — the station only airs a 10-minute local newscast weekdays at 5:30pm anchored by Louka Jacques, along with brief news updates in the morning and in the evening. There are only two anchors (one for the morning news update and one for the 5:30PM news). For a brief period in 2006, there was an occasional commentary by former MP Françoise Boivin on stories that made headlines.

The analog television shutdown and digital conversion, took place on August 31, 2011,[1] however, CFGS-TV was granted a temporary extension for their analogue broadcasts. CFGS-DT began its digital broadcasts on its current assigned analogue channel, UHF 34 on October 31, 2011.

Why Bother At All
by: KoufaxWere you born without a thought or cause,
yet alone a care? I know damn well
that it's hard to sell an interest in
a book or class. The mess we're in -
I want to know how we got here?
How the hell have we got here?
Someone just give us hope.
Rescue us. Rescue us,
from the kids in their homes
who won't speak to us.
They just laugh at us
saying "Why bother learning -
it just gets you nowhere.
We're asleep through schooling
because the books they weren't worth reading.
Why bother listening,
when it's lies repeated?"
This is the age of no feeling.
All we're trying to do is make some sense
of a TV set - a face to respect,
albeit hardly dressed.
Only for the modern time,
I'll have to say
what the public wants is what it gets.
What it wants is what it will get.
Someone just give us hope.
Rescue us. Rescue us,
from the kids in their homes
who won't speak to us.
They just laugh at us
saying "Why bother learning -
it just gets you nowhere.
We're asleep through schooling
because the books they weren't worth reading.
Yeah, why bother voting,
when we know they're cheating?"
This is the age of no feeling.
Why bother learning?
Why bother reading?
Well then why bother speaking?
Why bother breathing?
