History
TFO launched its children-oriented block in 1996, labeling it Méga TFO. The block aired a live call-in show to serve as its anchor program also titled ''Méga TFO'', hosted by Stephanie Broschart and Alain Boisvert. In 2001, the show was replaced by ''Mégallô'', which had a similar format. In September 2009, the block amended its name to mirror the anchor program's title. In September 2013, the block was rebranded as Flip TFO along with the new main program, replacing ''Mégallô''.
In September 2017, the program was renamed ''Flip l'algorithme'' and much like its predecessors, attempts to present content in a humorous way.
