The Canadian Television Fund (French: Fonds canadien de télévision), sometimes abbreviated as CTF (French: FCT), supported the production and broadcast of Canadian television programs. A non-profit corporation operating as a public-private partnership, the CTF was financed by contributions from the Government of Canada through the Department of Canadian Heritage and the Canadian cable and direct-to-home satellite industries.
The CTF developed and implemented policies to offer financial contributions to Canadian producers through specific program funding streams. File administration of these programs was contracted to the Television Business Unit at Telefilm Canada.
On 1 April 2010, the Canadian Television Fund merged with the Canada New Media Fund and formed the Canada Media Fund.
