CBAFT, branded as Télévision de Radio-Canada Acadie, is Radio-Canada's television service in Atlantic Canada, serving Acadians in the Maritimes and Franco-Newfoundlanders in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Prior to September 2, 2008, the station was known as Télévision de Radio-Canada Atlantique. It has now been rebranded as part of the public broadcaster's efforts to better reflect the region it serves.[1]
Its primary studios and transmitter are located in Moncton, New Brunswick and has additional news bureaus in Edmundston, Bathurst, Caraquet, Fredericton and Saint John, New Brunswick;[2] Halifax, Nova Scotia;[3] St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador;[4] and Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.[5]
The service was launched at 6:25 p.m. on December 21, 1959 from Moncton on channel 11. The station slowly added rebroadcasters, such as one serving Fredericton and Saint John in 1973 on channel 5.[6] Radio-Canada later converted CJBR-TV-1 Edmundston, a retransmitter of a former affiliate in Rimouski, Quebec on channel 13, to a rebroadcaster of CBAFT.
Unlike all other Radio-Canada stations, programming in the Atlantic region airs one hour later than its scheduled time in the rest of Canada: this noted by the phrase Une heure plus tard dans les Maritimes, present on nearly all Radio-Canada network promos. (Due to Newfoundland's small Francophone population, the correct time for programs there is only noted on local promos.)
