Television stations in Montreal :



 
  • CBFT

    CBFT is the flagship station of Télévision de Radio-Canada, the French language television network of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Its studios and master control are located at Maison Radio-Canada in Montreal.

    On cable, CBFT is seen on Vidéotron channel 4 in the Montreal area, Charter Plattsburgh channel 5 and Comcast Burlington channel 22; it is also seen on direct broadcast satellite throughout Canada.

    It was the first television station in Canada, launching on September 6, 1952. The station aired programming in both French (60 percent) and English (40 percent) until January 10, 1954, when CBMT was launched.

    Through its translator network, CBFT can be seen in most of Quebec, parts of Ontario, and most of northern Canada (Northwest Territories and Nunavut).

    For all intents and purposes, most Radio-Canada affiliates are semi-satellites of CBFT, carrying identical programming, other than commercials and regional news.

  • CBMT

    CBMT is the CBC's television station in Montreal, Quebec. Programming on CBMT is seen on a network of more than 50 rebroadcasters throughout Quebec and in three communities in northern Manitoba: Brochet, Poplar River, and Shamattawa.

  • Concordia University Television

    Concordia University Television (CUTV) is Canada's oldest student-run television station. Founded in 1969 in the Montreal area on the campus of Concordia University, CUTV has a strong focus on media literacy and training. The station is under the umbrella of the Concordia Student Broadcasting Corporation (CSBC), along with CJLO and the Concordia Amateur Radio Club (CUARC, callsign VE2CUA).

    In recent years, CUTV has broadened its focus to include both on and off-campus media support. Most notably, the station hosted the inaugural Summer Video Bootcamp in July 2007. The bootcamp taught video-based moviemaking skills to a group of youths from the Montreal area. CUTV has also been involved in the Atwater Library Digital Literacy Project as well as several other initiatives in the community.

    CUTV is also the home of makealottamovies, a monthly filmmaking workshop open to both the student body as well as the community. This workshop teams up experienced and inexperienced filmmakers with the goal of making a short film in three days. It allows individuals to learn the basics of filmmaking in a very short amount of time. At the end of the month, CUTV hosts a screening for everyone to see, showcasing all of the finished films.

  • CFCF-TV

    CFCF-TV (now identified on air as CTV Montreal) is a CTV-owned and operated station located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. CFCF broadcasts on channel 12 at a maximum ERP of 316 kW.

  • CFJP-TV

    CFJP-TV is the callsign for V's flagship television station in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

    The station was originally owned by the family of Jean Pouliot, then-owner of CFCF. It was acquired by Cogeco in 2001 concurrently with Cogeco's acquisition of the network. As an owned and operated station of the network, CFJP was part of V's takeover by Remstar Corporation.

    CFJP-TV launched a high definition simulcast on June 4, 2007 available on Videotron and Cogeco cable in Quebec. It signed on over the air on channel 42 from their studio building in Montreal in December 2007.

    CFJP formerly had a rebroadcaster in Rimouski, CJPC-TV channel 18, but this switched to being a semi-satellite of CFTF-TV in June 2007.

  • CFTM-TV

    CFTM-TV channel 10, is the flagship of the TVA television network, located in Montreal, Quebec.

  • CFTU-TV

    CFTU-TV is a Canadian French language educational television station in the province of Quebec, owned by a private consortium known as CANAL, consisting primarily of Quebec-based post-secondary institutions. CFTU currently uses the on-air brand, Canal Savoir. It is licensed to and located in the city of Montreal.

    CFTU is available over-the-air on channel 29 in Montreal; on cable through much of Quebec, parts of Ontario, New Brunswick, and Western Canada; and on satellite (Bell TV channel 152 and Shaw Direct channel 720).

    CFTU broadcasts at 10 kilowatts, one of Montreal's weakest television signals, on the same level as most low-powered UHF stations in the United States. As a consequence, the station's over-the-air signal is very poor, even in Montreal.

  • CJNT-TV

    CJNT-TV is a multicultural television station in Montreal, Quebec. The station is owned and operated by Channel Zero with a format focused on music videos and foreign films, while also airing some locally-produced ethnic programming.

    CJNT broadcasts at 11 kilowatts, one of the weakest television signals in Canada, on the same level as most low-powered UHF stations in the United States. Its over-the-air coverage area is effectively limited to the Island of Montreal and Jésus Island, and a few areas on the mainland—a far smaller area compared to the other Montreal stations. In most of this area, it is practically unviewable except on cable.

  • CKMI-TV

    CKMI-TV-1 (branded as Global Montreal) is the Global Television Network owned-and-operated station in Quebec.

    Originally a privately owned CBC Television affiliate in Quebec City, the station moved most of its operations to Montreal in 1997 after launching a rebroadcaster there and becoming a Global affiliate as Global Quebec. This was made official in 2009 when the Montreal rebroadcaster became its primary transmitter and city of license.

    The station is owned by Shaw Media. In 2009 its main production facilities and news operations relocated from a building shared with French language network TVA on De Maisonneuve Boulevard East in Montreal to the Dominion Square Building, home of the Montreal Gazette in Downtown Montreal.

  • Télé-Québec

    Télé-Québec is a French language public educational television network in the Canadian province of Quebec. Known legally as Société de télédiffusion du Québec (Quebec Television Broadcasting Corporation), it is a provincial crown corporation owned by the Government of Quebec. The network's main studios and general offices are located in Montreal, at the corner of Saint Catherine and Fullum Streets in Ville-Marie.

    Télé-Québec is equivalent to Ontario's TVOntario and TFO, British Columbia's Knowledge and Saskatchewan's SCN, and similar to the US PBS network, in that it is somewhat modest in scope, runs mostly educational or cultural programming, and does not try to compete with privately owned television networks or with the Radio-Canada television network owned and operated by the federal government. The network also runs commercials during its programming, not unlike its federal counterparts Radio-Canada and CBC Television. The latter, by contrast, does strongly compete with private networks and overlaps with their programming categories.

    All programming on Télé-Québec is in French, though there are a few shows and movies that are presented in the original language (predominantly English), with French subtitles.

    Télé-Québec operates local offices in Val-d'Or, Trois-Rivières, Rimouski, Gatineau, Sept-Îles, Quebec City, Sherbrooke, Saguenay and Carleton.

    Télé-Québec also has a 25% stake in the French-Canadian arts specialty channel, ARTV; they are also one of the partners in the TV5 Québec Canada and TV5MONDE consortiums.
