CFTV is a low-power community television station in Leamington, Ontario, Canada, which began broadcasting in early 2006. The station was licensed by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission in 2003.

CFTV, is owned and operated by a local non-profit consortium known as Southshore Broadcasting, and broadcasts on channel 34. The station will be required to find an alternate channel if its current channel assignment is found to cause interference to CBET's DTV broadcasts on channel 35, once CBET's DTV operations begin.

Its signal reaches as far as Harrow, Tilbury, and the village of South Woodslee in the town of Lakeshore. Currently, viewers in Windsor are unable to view the station, because the signal does not reach the city, however the station has stated in email replies from viewers that they do intend to increase the strength of their transmitter and cover Windsor and all of Essex County very soon.

[edit] Beginning of transmissions

On Wednesday, March 8, 2006, the Windsor Star stated that CFTV would begin regular transmissions on March 9, 2006 at 6:00 PM. In the March 17, 2006 edition of the Windsor Star, it was confirmed that Leamington Municipal Council had allocated $12,000 per year to broadcast council meetings on the station.
