CBAFT-DT (branded on-air as ICI Acadie) is the Ici Radio-Canada Télé owned-and-operated television station for Atlantic Canada, serving Acadians in the Maritimes and Franco-Newfoundlanders in Newfoundland and Labrador. The station is licensed to Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada.

Owned by the Société Radio-Canada (CBC), it broadcasts a high-definition digital signal on VHF channel 11 from a transmitter located at its studios on Timberline Road in Moncton. This station can also be seen on Rogers Cable digital channel 601. There is a high definition feed offered on Bell Aliant Fibe TV channel 405. This station is also available on Bell TV channel 100 and in high definition on channel 1801. For Eastlink subscribers, however, it's only offered in standard definition (the high definition signal on channel 1017 comes from CBLFT-DT in Toronto).

Prior to September 2, 2008, the station was known as Télévision de Radio-Canada Atlantique. It was rebranded to "Télévision de Radio-Canada Acadie" as part of the public broadcaster's efforts to better reflect the region it serves.

The station was launched at 6:25 p.m. on December 21, 1959 from Moncton on channel 11. The station slowly added rebroadcasters, such as one serving Fredericton and Saint John in 1973 on channel 5. Radio-Canada later converted CJBR-TV-1 Edmundston, a retransmitter of a former affiliate in Rimouski, Quebec on channel 13, to a rebroadcaster of CBAFT.
