CFCM-DT is the TVA owned-and-operated television station in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. Owned by the TVA Group subsidiary of Quebecor Media, it broadcasts a high-definition digital signal on UHF channel 17 (or virtual channel 4.1 via ) from a transmitter located at its former studios on Myrand Street in the former suburb of Sainte-Foy and its current studios are located in de l'Exposition Street near the Videotron Centre. This station can also be seen on Vidéotron channel 4 and in high definition on digital channel 604.
Until 2011, the station's transmitter facilities previously also hosted the transmitter for CBVE-TV (channel 5), the now-defunct local rebroadcaster of CBMT-DT/Montreal, when that station relocated to CBVT-DT's former analog channel (VHF channel 11), which broadcasts from Mount Bélair.
CFCM was Quebec's first private television station, going on the air for the first time on July 17, 1954. CFCM started out as a private bilingual CBC/Radio-Canada affiliate. The station's original owner was Télévision de Québec, a consortium of theatre chain Famous Players and Quebec City's two private AM radio stations, CHRC and CKCV.
