CJMT-DT, virtual and UHF digital channel 40, is an Omni Television owned-and-operated television station located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The station is owned by Rogers Media, a subsidiary of Rogers Communications, as part of a triplestick (the only conventional television triplestick operated by the company) with fellow Omni outlet CFMT-DT (channel 47) and City flagship station CITY-DT (channel 57). All three stations share studio facilities located at Yonge-Dundas Square on 33 Dundas Street East in downtown Toronto; CJMT maintains transmitter facilities located atop First Canadian Place in downtown Toronto.
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.
The station signed on the air on September 16, 2002, broadcasting on UHF channel 44. In 2004, CJMT moved its channel allocation to UHF channel 69. The station was licensed by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission as part of the same process that approved independent station CKXT-TV (channel 51, now defunct). The "J" in its callsign has no particular meaning, except that it was an available callsign that maintained the "MT" lettering (standing for "Multicultural Television") from CFMT (CJMT was formerly the callsign of a now-defunct AM radio station in Chicoutimi, Quebec).
