'''CFJP-DT''' (channel 35) is a [[television station]] in [[Montreal]], Quebec, Canada, serving as the [[flagship station]] of the French-language network [[Noovo]]. It is [[owned and operated]] by network parent [[Bell Media]] alongside [[CTV Television Network|CTV]] outlet [[CFCF-DT]] (channel 12). The two stations share studios at the Bell Media building (formerly the Montréal Téléport), at the intersection of [[René Lévesque Boulevard|Boulevard René-Lévesque Est]] and [[Avenue Papineau]] in [[downtown Montreal]]; CFJP-DT's transmitter is located on [[Mount Royal]].

==History==
The station was originally owned by the family of [[Jean Pouliot]], then-owner of CFCF-TV. It was acquired by [[Cogeco]] in 2001 concurrently with Cogeco's acquisition of the network. It was later acquired by [[Remstar]] in June 2008, which had been owned by Cogeco and CTVglobemedia but entered [[bankruptcy protection]] in late 2007. The network was renamed V the following year. It was later reorganized into a separate entity named [[V Media Group]], which was still majority-owned by Remstar, with a minority share held by a trust controlled by Remstar's owner, [[Maxime Rémillard]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.crtc.gc.ca/ownership/eng/cht220.pdf|title=CRTC Ownership Chart for Remstar|date=August 19, 2014|access-date=September 21, 2014}}</ref> As an owned-and-operated station of the network, CFJP was part of V's takeover by [[Bell Media]] on May 15, 2020.<ref name="Bell Media V"/><ref name="crtc2020154">{{cite web|url=https://crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2020/2020-154.htm|title=Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2020-154|publisher=[[Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission]]|date=May 19, 2020|access-date=May 24, 2020}}</ref>

CFJP formerly had a rebroadcaster in [[Rimouski]], [[CJPC-TV]] channel 18, but this switched to being a semi-satellite of [[CFTF-TV]] in June 2007.

== Digital television and high definition ==
CFJP launched a [[high-definition television|high definition]] simulcast on June 4, 2007, and it's available on [[Vidéotron]] and Cogeco cable in Quebec. It signed on over the air on channel 42 from their studio building in Montreal in December 2007. However, digital television receivers display CFJP-TV's [[virtual channel]] as 35. After the [[Digital television in Canada|analog television shutdown and digital conversion]] on August 31, 2011,<ref name="Analog to Digital">{{cite web|url=http://www.ic.gc.ca/epic/site/oca-bc.nsf/en/ca02336e.html|title=Canada's Office of Consumer Affairs - What You Need to Know About the Analog-to-Digital Television Transition in Canada|access-date=March 15, 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080916083326/http://www.ic.gc.ca/epic/site/oca-bc.nsf/en/ca02336e.html|archive-date=September 16, 2008}}</ref> CFJP-TV moved from its pre-transition channel number, 42, to its post-transition and old analog channel number, 35. Because of the placement of the digital broadcast antenna at a low elevation on top of a residential building in Montreal, the coverage area was greatly reduced as compared to its former analog signal, which broadcast from Mount Royal. Many viewers were no longer able to receive CFJP. The station moved its digital transmitter to Mount Royal on April 16, 2013, greatly increasing its coverage area.
