CJMT-TV is a Canadian television station, which broadcasts multicultural programming in Toronto, Ontario. As one of the OMNI Television stations owned by Rogers Media, it uses the on-air brand OMNI.2, and is a sister station to CFMT (OMNI.1).
The J in its call sign has no particular meaning, except that it was an available call sign that maintained the MT (Multicultural Television) from CFMT. (CJMT was formerly the callsign of a now-dufunct AM radio station out of Chicoutimi, Québec).
CJMT was launched on September 16, 2002 on channel 44, though it now broadcasts on channel 69. The station was licensed as part of the same process that approved SUN TV.
Just like its sister station, OMNI.2 also broadcasts in London and Ottawa.
Programming
OMNI.2 airs programming in the South Asian languages (e.g., Urdu, Hindi), as well as in Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, Korean, Somali, and Afghan. In addition, the station airs other syndicated shows such as Everybody Loves Raymond, The King of Queens, and the
crime dramas Law and Order: Criminal Intent and
Newscasts
OMNI.2 currently carries several local newscasts aimed at specific ethnic demographics:
- OMNI News: Mandarin Edition - weeknights at 5:00pm
- Anchors/Reporters: Wei Lee, Grant Guo
- OMNI News: South Asian Edition - weeknights at 8:00pm (produced in English)
- Anchor: Indira Naidoo-Harris

The Mandarin and South Asian weekday newscasts were launched at the same time as CJMT itself, while the Cantonese newscast was moved from CFMT. The South Asian edition was previously broadcast once a week, and was known as South Asian Newsweek.
