CBLFT is the Radio-Canada station serving Franco-Ontarians in Toronto and most of Ontario, including the Western, Central and Northeastern regions.

The station airs on analogue broadcasts on channel 25, and digital broadcasts on channel 24 in the Toronto area.

CBLFT was previously licensed as a standalone station. Since the early 1990s, all of the station's transmitters have been assigned to the licence of CBOFT Ottawa. These transmitters continue to broadcast a separate local early-evening newscast, which is produced in Ottawa, but is only seen in that city via a late-night rebroadcast, similar to the morning-show split used at CBLA-FM.
