CFTU-DT, UHF channel 29 (branded on-air as "Canal Savoir", the French translation for "Knowledge Channel"), is a French language educational independent television station located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The station is owned by CANAL (Corporation pour l'Avancement de Nouvelles Applications des Langages), a private consortium consisting primarily of Quebec-based post-secondary institutions. CFTU's studios are located on Rue Sainte-Catherine East and Rue Pathenais in Downtown Montreal, and its transmitter is located at Pavillon Roger-Gaudry on the campus of Université de Montréal. This station can also be seen on Vidéotron cable channel 22, Bell TV satellite channel 152 and Shaw Direct satellite channel 720. It is also available on cable through much of Quebec, and in parts of Ontario, New Brunswick and Western Canada. == History == CFTU's history traces back to 1981, when a distance learning organization known as ''Télé-Université'' (the "TU" in the station's callsign) negotiated with Vidéotron, the local cable provider in Montreal, to take responsibility for running an educational television service in the province. The following year, an agreement between Télé-Université and Vidéotron was reached, subsequently leading to the startup of a publicly accessible educational cable television service, using Radio-Québec as its over-the-air gateway for its programming. In the next three years, thirteen other educational institutions around Quebec, starting with the Université de Montréal, joined up with Télé-Université to provide administrative and technical support for the new television service. The institutions formed a new consortium, known as the Corporation pour l'Avancement des Nouvelles Applications des Langages (or "CANAL" for short), to co-ordinate the educational television service and prepare it to begin broadcasting over-the-air. After over a year of test transmissions on channel 62, Télé-Université officially launched its over-the-air service, CFTU-TV on UHF channel 29, on August 20, 1986. On cable television in Montreal, it airs on channel 26 on the West Island and 47 in the east, and was the first over-the-air television station in Canada to be given a cable assignment outside the basic band (channels 2-13) of the dial. CFTU launched under the brand name of ''Canal de Télé-enseignement'' (The Learning Channel), and later changed its branding to "Canal Savoir" in 1997. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CFTU-DT」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
