CBFT is the flagship station of Télévision de Radio-Canada, the French language television network of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Its studios and master control are located at Maison Radio-Canada in Montreal.

On cable, CBFT is seen on Videotron channel 4 in the Montreal area, Charter Plattsburgh channel 5 and Comcast Burlington channel 22; it is also seen on direct broadcast satellite throughout Canada.

It was the first television station in Canada, launching on September 6, 1952. The station aired programming in both English and French until January 10, 1954, when CBMT was launched. CBFT can be seen in most of Quebec, including parts of Ontario, and in the Northwest Territories, Yukon and other parts of North Canada.

For all intents and purposes, most Radio-Canada affiliates are semi-satellites of CBFT.
