in 1990. In 1992, Pouliot was inducted into the Canadian Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame, and in 1997, Concordia University granted him a Doctorate of Laws "Honoris Causa". Pouliot supported a number of philanthropic causes, most notably the "Telethon of Stars", first broadcast in English and French on CFCF-TV in 1977, benefiting research into children's diseases. After the creation of TQS, the Telethon of Stars was simulcast on CFCF and the TQS network. Starting in 1994, although TQS continued to host the traditional telethon, CFCF shifted to a movie marathon interspersed with fundraising segments. TQS (then rebranded V) ceased airing the telethon after 2008, with CFCF airing one more edition in 2009.
