CFMT-DT (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

CFMT-DT (channel 47) is a television station in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is one of two flagship stations of the Canadian multilingual network Omni Television. CFMT-DT is owned and operated by Rogers Sports & Media alongside sister Omni outlet CJMT-DT (channel 40) and Citytv flagship CITY-DT (channel 57). The stations share studios at 33 Dundas Street East on Yonge-Dundas Square in downtown Toronto, while CFMT-DT's transmitter is located atop the CN Tower. The station was originally founded on September 3, 1979 by a consortium led by Dan Iannuzzi, Jerry Grafstein, Raymond Moriyama, Steve Stavro, Garth Drabinsky and Nat Taylor as CFMT-TV, branded on air as MTV (Multilingual Television) as Canada's first multicultural independent station and in 1980, CFMT became Canada's first television station to air 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The station has been owned by Rogers Communications since 1986, but later used CFMT as the basis and flagship station to expand its multicultral stations under the Omni brand beginning with the launch of CJMT-TV (Omni.2) in 2002 along with the rebranding of CFMT as Omni.1 and the rest of Canada in subsequent years. The two stations are distinguished by their service of different cultural groups; CFMT caters primarily on European (particularly Western and Eastern) and Latin American cultures while CJMT focuses on Asian cultures (including programming in South Asian and Chinese languages).
