CFTM, channel 10, is the flagship of the TVA television network, located in Montreal, Quebec.
It signed on in 1961, a few weeks after CFCF went on the air for the first time. It was owned by Télé-Métropole. Two years later, it began sharing programs with CJPM-TV in Chicoutimi. They were joined by CFCM-TV in Quebec City in 1964. This was the beginning of TVA, though the network wasn't formally established until 1971. When the station's owner, Joseph Alexandre DeSève, died in 1968, the city government renamed the street in front of CFTM's studios rue Alexandre DeSève in his honour.
CFTM dominated the TVA network even before Télé-Métropole bought majority control in 1990, producing as much as 90% of the network's shows. Even today, TVA's network feed is little more than a retransmission of CFTM. Whenever CFTM has to interrupt its programming for breaking news or weather alerts, the entire network gets interrupted as well.
Since May 1. 1999, all Canadian cable companies have been required to carry a TVA station. CFTM is the affiliate carried in most markets outside of Quebec (excepting some markets in Northern Ontario, Eastern Ontario and New Brunswick). The station also provides a time-shifted feed for cable companies in western Canada.
