CBFT-DT (channel 2) is a television station in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, serving as the flagship station of the French-language service of Ici Radio-Canada Télé. It is owned and operated by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (known in French as Société Radio-Canada) alongside CBC Television outlet CBMT-DT (channel 6).
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation announced it would open a second television station in Montreal. CBFT went on the air in 1952 and had been airing programs in English and French. With the launch of the second station (CBMT), CBFT would switch to full-time French language programming.
CBMT was the city’s first all English TV station. CBFT had been a bilingual operation since it signed on 16 months earlier. It was a problem trying to provide 50-50 service in both languages but now CBFT had the problem of having to fill 50 to 60 hours of French language production each week.
CBMT first signed on the air on January 10, 1954, as Montreal's second television station; previously, English and French-language programs had shared time on CBFT, Canada's first television station.
CBMT-DT (channel 6) is a television station in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, broadcasting the English-language service of CBC Television. It is owned and operated by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation alongside Ici Radio-Canada Télé flagship CBFT-DT (channel 2).
The licensee indicated that until 1991 it had operated CBLFT-TV, a regional French-language television station in Toronto. This station was closed at the licensee’s request and converted to a rebroadcasting transmitter for CBOFT-TV Ottawa.
