National Edition

The national edition (Edition Nationale) featured local listings for most television stations in Quebec and Eastern Ontario. The local listings used numerical bullets similar to what was used in TV Guide. Most of the French language specialty channels were listed along with a few English specialty channels.

Cable Edition

The Cable Edition (Edition Câble) featured cable specific listings for Videotron Cable and CF Cable in Montreal. Videotron was designated with black numeric bullets while CF Cable was designated with white numeric bullets.

Post Merger with TV Hebdo

Starting by 1996, TV Hebdo and TV 7 Jours were completely identical listings magazines with the same editorial content; the only difference being the logo on the front cover. TV Hebdo continued to be sold as an individual publication while TV 7 Jours continued to only be available as complimentary add-on to the popular 7 Jours magazine. By 1998 both TV 7 Jours and TV Hebdo were printed entirely in colour (including the listings). Each day had a different colour marker at the edge of the page for quick reference to a particular day. The four main over-the-air french networks were also designatured with individual colour bullets (SRC dark blue, TQS green, Tele-Quebec light blue and TVA in red).
