History
The channel launched on May 2, 2011 as Mlle, a channel devoted to lifestyle and entertainment programming targeting women.[1] On February 1, 2013, the network was rebranded as Moi & Cie (later stylized as Moi et Cie), an extension of Groupe TVA's magazine of the same name.[2]
On April 9, 2024, after having slowly pivoted to airing such programming, Moi et Cie was rebranded as Témoin—which would be focused on crime-related programming, including true crime documentaries, and crime-related series (such as police procedurals) and films.[3]
