Home > TVA (television network)

Incorporated in 1960 as Télé-Metropole by Joseph-Alexandre DeSève, the network officially became TVA when it acquired stations owned by rival broadcaster Pathonic. TVA owns six of the ten stations on its network, and has a 45 per cent interest in Télé Inter-Rives, the owner of two of its other four affiliates.

TVA also owns Le Canal Nouvelles, Canada's only private French-language headline news channel. When TVA completes its broadcast day, the TVA stations simulcast LCN until TVA's next broadcast day begins. As well, the company owns a magazine publishing division unit, a film production and distribution house, and a number of other Internet and cable properties, many of which are often used to cross-promote TVA series and events.

In 1998, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission made it compulsory for all cable systems in Canada to carry a TVA station, in order to improve service to Canada's francophone minority communities. The station offered is usually the network's Montreal flagship, CFTM-TV, although some cable companies in Ontario and New Brunswick substitute the affiliates from Gatineau, Rouyn-Noranda or Rivière-du-Loup, generally because they were already offering these stations before TVA carriage became mandatory.

CFTM also provides a time-shifted feed for Western Canadian cable companies.
