CJMT-DT (channel 40) is a television station in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is one of two flagship stations of the Canadian multilingual network Omni Television. CJMT-DT is owned and operated by Rogers Sports & Media alongside sister Omni outlet CFMT-DT (channel 47) and Citytv flagship CITY-DT (channel 57). The three stations share studios at 33 Dundas Street East on Yonge-Dundas Square in downtown Toronto; CJMT-DT's transmitter is located atop the CN Tower.
The station was launched on September 16, 2002 as a sister to CFMT; at the same time, Rogers launched Omni Television as a blanket brand for the stations by branding the new station as Omni.2, followed by re-branding CFMT as Omni.1 as well as the rest of Canada in subsequent years. The two stations are distinguished by their service of different cultural groups; CJMT focuses on Asian cultures (including programming in South Asian and Chinese languages) while CFMT caters primarily on European (particularly Western and Eastern) and Latin American cultures.[2]
