CBVT-DT (branded on-air as ICI Québec) is the Ici Radio-Canada Télé owned-and-operated television station in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. It broadcasts a high-definition digital signal on UHF channel 25 (or virtual channel 11.1 via ) from a transmitter on Avenue de la Montagne/Dumont Belair Ouest in Val-Bélair.
Owned by the Société Radio-Canada arm of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, its studios are located on Rue Saint-Jean and Aut Dufferin Montmorency in Downtown Quebec City. This station can also be seen on Vidéotron channel 2 and in high definition on digital channel 602. This station is also available on Bell TV channel 111 and in high definition on channel 1813.
The station, founded by Radio-Canada itself, first aired on September 3, 1964. Quebec City's previous Radio-Canada affiliate CFCM became an independent station for a few years before becoming one of the co-founders of TVA in 1971.
The station moved into new studios in 2004, uniting all of CBC/Radio-Canada's staff in Quebec City.
For the network, the station produces La semaine verte, an hour-long weekly newsmagazine about agriculture and rural life, and Second regard, a half-hour program exploring religion and spirituality.
For local programming, an evening newscast under the title Le Téléjournal/Québec, airs weekdays at 6:00 p.m.; a weekday noon newscast, Le Téléjournal midi/Québec et Est du Québec, is shared with Radio-Canada's group of stations in Eastern Quebec.
After the analogue-to-digital conversion which took place on August 31, 2011, CBVT-DT stayed at its pre-transition position on channel 12, allowing CBVE-TV, a repeater of CBMT-DT Montreal, to move from channel 5 to channel 11. Because of potential interference from CFCF-DT in Montreal (which moved its digital signal to channel 12 on the transition date) and reception problems, CBVT-DT will move to channel 25 in December 2011. Channel 25 was previously used by CIVQ-DT, a local digital repeater of Télé-Québec.
