TVNB, or Television New Brunswick, was the brand of a group of cable television community channels in the Canadian province of New Brunswick, active in the late 1990s. The network, created by uniting the various local community channels of the province's cable television provider, Fundy Cable. Network master control located in Moncton provided two Provincial feeds (English and French) of various community programs produced around New Brunswick while local programming inserts were made for hyper-local content like TV Bingo, high school sports and city councils.

TVNB English service was available in the majority of the Province except the Edmundston area which provided the French TV service. Both English and French TVNB service could be seen on two separate channels in a few areas: Moncton, Miramichi, Bathurst, Campbellton and Dalhousie.

The TVNB network was re-branded Rogers Television in the February 2002, after a series of acquisitions made Rogers Cable the dominant cable provider in the province.

To this day there are New Brunswick communities not wired into the provincial cable network, operating as independent Rogers cable systems and do not receive community television.
