CBMT was Montreal's second television station; previously English and French-language programs had shared time on CBFT, channel 2, which was Canada's first broadcast television station. CBFT is the flagship station of Télévision de Radio-Canada, the French language Television network of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
