CFTM-DT is a French language television station in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, serving as the flagship of TVA. It broadcasts a high-definition digital signal on VHF channel 10 from a transmitter on Voie Camillien Houde (near Mont Royal Park).
Owned by the TVA Group subsidiary of Quebecor Media, its studios are located on Boulevard de Maisonneuve East and Rue Alexandre de Sève in Downtown Montreal. This station can also be seen on Vidéotron channel 7 (standard) or 4 (Illico), and in high definition on digital channel 604; Vidéotron also offers a 3-hour delayed feed to Illico subscribers on channel 401.
It opened on February 19, 1961, a few weeks after CFCF-TV went on the air for the first time. It was owned by Joseph Alexandre DeSève and his company, Télé-Métropole. At first it relied primarily on kinescopes from RTL, and also from Télé Monte Carlo, but it wasn't long before it settled into a more peculiar and local form. On April 14, 1963, CFTM started sharing programs with CJPM-TV in Chicoutimi in the Saguenay area when the day it was first signed on. They were joined by CFCM-TV in Quebec City in 1964. This was the informal beginning of TVA, though the network wasn't officially established until September 12, 1971. When DeSève died in 1968, the city government renamed the street in front of CFTM's studios rue Alexandre DeSève in his honour.
