CJMT-DT

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, a division of Rogers Sports & Media, and is operated alongside sister Omni outlet CFMT-DT (channel 47) and Citytv flagship CITY-DT (channel 57). The three stations share studios at the Rogers Building 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 caters primarily on Asian cultures (including programming in South Asian and Chinese languages) while CFMT focuses on European (particularly Western and Eastern) and Latin American cultures.
