CFMT-DT, UHF channel 47, is a Canadian multi-lingual television station located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is owned by the Rogers Media division of Rogers Communications as part of a triplestick (the only conventional television triplestick operated by the company) with sister multicultural station CJMT-DT (channel 40) and City flagship owned-and-operated station CITY-DT (channel 57). All three stations share studio facilities located at Yonge-Dundas Square on 33 Dundas Street East in downtown Toronto; CFMT maintains transmitter facilities located atop the CN Tower in downtown Toronto.

Upon its launch, CFMT was the first multicultural television station in Canada. Under its current ownership, it is also the flagship station of Omni Television, a system of multicultural stations in other Canadian markets. Following the launch of the brand and sister station CJMT, CFMT's multicultural programming has focused primarily on European and Latin American ethnic groups.

On cable, the station is available on corporate sister Rogers Cable channel 4 and in high definition on digital channel 520; on satellite, the station is also available on Bell TV channel 215 and in high definition on channel 1055.
