CITY-DT, virtual channel 57 (UHF digital channel 44), is a City owned-and-operated television station located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The station is owned by Rogers Media, a division of Rogers Communications (through its Rogers Broadcasting Limited division), as part of a triplestick (the only conventional television triplestick operated by the company) with Omni Television stations CFMT-DT (channel 47) and CJMT-DT (channel 40). The three stations share studio facilities located at 33 Dundas Street East on Yonge-Dundas Square in downtown Toronto; CITY maintains transmitter facilities located atop the CN Tower in downtown Toronto.

On cable, CITY is also available on corporate sister Rogers Cable channel 7 and digital channel 133; on satellite, the station is available on Bell TV channel 214. There is also a high definition feed on Rogers Cable digital channel 519 and Bell TV channel 1053. The station was best known for its unconventional approach to news and other locally produced programming, creating the basis upon which the City television network (of which CITY-DT serves as the flagship station) was built.
