CJMT-DT, virtual and UHF digital channel 40, 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 CFMT-DT (channel 47) 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.
The station was launched on September 16, 2002 as a sister to CFMT; at this time, Rogers launched Omni Television as a blanket brand for the stations by branding the new station as Omni.2, followed by re-branding CFMT as Omni.1. The two stations are distinguished by their service of different cultural groups; CJMT caters primarily to Asian cultures (including South Asian and Chinese languages), while CFMT focuses on European and Latino cultures.
On cable, the station is available on corporate sister Rogers Cable channel 14 and in high definition on digital channel 530; on satellite, the station is also available on Bell TV channel 216 and in high definition on channel 1056.
