Toronto, Ontario, Canada, with rebroadcasters in Ottawa and London. The station
broadcasts multicultural programming targeting European and Latin American
communities throughout southern Ontario. Part of the Omni Television group of
stations owned by Rogers Media, it uses the on-air brand OMNI.1.
Among non-ethnic residents of southern Ontario, CFMT is likely best known as

major networks.

CFTO-TV
CFTO-TV, channel 9, is a television station in Toronto,
Ontario, Canada owned by CTVglobemedia. Currently branded as CTV Toronto, it is
the flagship station of the CTV Television Network, and was one of the charter
members of the network when it was launched in 1961. It broadcasts from the CN
Tower with a power output of 316 kW, and operates a digital transmitter on
channel 40 (PSIP 9.1). In addition, the station currently operates two auxiliary
transmitters serving the Orillia and Peterborough areas, and is available on
cable and satellite throughout southern Ontario.
The station's studios are located at 9 Channel Nine Court (recently renamed
"Dave Devall Way") in Agincourt, near the junction of Highway 401 and McCowan
Road. CFTO now shares these premises with the network's headquarters, which
includes studios for the network's news programming (Canada AM, CTV National
News and the CTV News Channel), along with most of CTVglobemedia's specialty
channels. CTV News has in fact been based at CFTO's studios for most of its
history, dating to the days when the network was a cooperative (CFTO's parent
company later acquired most of the other affiliates to become the present-day
CTVglobemedia).

Cantonese cable television specialty channel. It is co-owned by majority owner

CIII-TV
CIII-TV is a television station owned by Canwest that
serves much of the population of the Canadian province of Ontario, featuring
content localized for the city of Toronto. The station's main transmitter is
licensed to Paris, a small town near Brantford, but its main studio is in
Toronto. Most cable television systems in Ontario carry the station, normally on
channel 3.
Unlike most Global stations, CIII is normally branded as simply "Global", as
opposed to "Global Ontario", unless the geographic identifier is necessary for
disambiguation. By contrast, most Global stations now use their regional brands
during their newscasts and in their bugs.
CIII-TV can be heard at 87.7 MHz on FM radios in areas where the station is
transmitting on VHF channel 6. The audio frequency for VHF-TV channel 6 is 87.75
MHz, and as such, most FM radios are able to tune it in.

CITY-TV
CITY-TV is a television station based in Toronto, Ontario,
Canada, owned and operated by Rogers Media. It is the flagship station of the
Citytv television system.
Broadcasting for the first time on September 28, 1972, CITY was best known for
its unconventional approach to news and local programming, an approach that
continues today and has carried over to the other stations in the Citytv system.
(See Citytv for more on these practices.)
Originally owned by Channel Seventy-Nine Ltd., a group which consisted of
Phyllis Switzer, Moses Znaimer, Jerry Grafstein, Edgar Cowan and others, CITY
was in debt by 1975. Multiple Access Ltd. (the owners of CFCF in Montreal,
Quebec) purchased 45% of the station. Three years later, it sold its stake to
CHUM Limited. CITY was purchased outright by CHUM in 1981 with the sale of Moses
Znaimer's interest in the station. Znaimer remained with the station as an
executive until 2003, when he retired from his management role but continued to
work with the station on some production projects.
-
CJMT-TV
CJMT-TV is a Canadian television station, which broadcasts
multicultural programming in Toronto, Ontario. As one of the Omni Television
stations owned by Rogers Media, it uses the on-air brand OMNI.2, and is a sister
station to CFMT (OMNI.1).
The J in its call sign has no particular meaning, except that it was an
available call sign that maintained the MT (Multicultural Television) from CFMT.
(CJMT was formerly the callsign of a now-defunct AM radio station out of
Chicoutimi, Quebec).
CJMT was launched on September 16, 2002 on channel 44, though it now broadcasts
on channel 69. The station was licensed as part of the same process that
approved SUN TV.
Just like its sister station, OMNI.2 also broadcasts in London and Ottawa.
In October 2007, Rogers announced that the Omni stations would move from the
CFMT Building, their current home, to 35 Dundas Street East, the former Olympic
Spirit building on Dundas Square in the summer of 2009. CFMT and CJMT will share
the facility with its radio station CJCL and Rogers' newly-acquired television
station Citytv. Originally the exact moving date was scheduled to take place on
July 1, but Rogers has said that no official date has been set.

CKXT-TV
CKXT-TV (known on air as SUN TV) is an independent
broadcast television station in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The station is
currently owned by Groupe TVA and Sun Media, both divisions of Quebecor Media.
It currently does not air the programming affiliated with any larger Canadian
television network or system (including French-language sister network TVA).
The station began broadcasting on September 19, 2003, on channel 52. The station
also has a rebroadcast transmitter in Hamilton on channel 45. It also broadcasts
in HDTV (ATSC standard) on channel 66 in Toronto and on channel 15 in Hamilton.
The station was known as Toronto 1 until August 29, 2005.
The station applied for rebroadcasters in Ottawa and London in 2007, in order to
improve its reach across southern Ontario. The move would give the station
coverage roughly equal to that of Citytv, OMNI.1 or OMNI.2. On September 14,
2007, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC)
approved CKXT's request, giving the station channel 26, digital 19 in London;
and channel 54, digital 62 in Ottawa. SUN TV later applied to change its digital
channel in Ottawa to 20; this was given approval on June 17, 2008 and began
transmissions in September 2008. As of late December 2008 (exact date not known)
CKXT was broadcasting in London in high definition on channel 19.1 and standard
definition on channel 19.2.

Star Ray TV
Star Ray TV is a community television station in Toronto,
Ontario, Canada. The station, which broadcasts on channel 15 in Toronto's
Beaches neighbourhood, was launched in 1997 when Jan Pachul, an amateur radio
operator, applied to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications
Commission for licence to serve the community. When it was licensed as an
experimental low-power station, it had the callsign VX9AMK.
