24 heures, originally Metropolitain and stylized 24H and from 2021 simply 24, is a tabloid weekly French-language free newspaper published in Montreal, Quebec, Canada by Quebecor Media. It was previously a tabloid published five times a week (Mondays to Fridays) with the Friday edition including a weekly cultural supplement called Ici Week-end, and was at one time part of a chain of free newspapers published in various Canadian cities, the others being English-language.
History[edit]
The newspaper launched in Montreal as Metropolitain (Metropolitan) with a large lowercase "m" as its logo. It became 24 Heures in 2005.
On November 14, 2006, two new editions were launched in the capital area: an English edition published in Ottawa, and a French edition published in Gatineau. The paper later became part of a chain of free papers that also included English-language papers published in Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, and Vancouver. The Gatineau edition was discontinued on May 9, 2008, and the Calgary, Edmonton, and Ottawa editions ceased publication in 2013.
In December 2010, an agreement was reached with the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) for exclusive distribution of 24H in the underground Montreal Metro network, replacing the Metro newspaper.[1] In 2012, the paper had a recorded circulation of almost 180,000.[2]
With the COVID-19 pandemic, the daily edition was discontinued in favour of an online edition at https://www.24heures.ca/.
In 2021, the newspaper re-launched as a print weekly and the title was changed to 24. It also underwent a major redesign.
