Télé-Mag is a local Community Access Channel in Quebec City, Quebec. It broadcasts on Videotron cable channel 10. "Télé-Mag" is a portmanteau of "television" and "magazine".

Télé-Mag first broadcast in 1987 as "Télé-Plus 24"; it was renamed "Télé-Mag 24" in 1994. The "24" in the name represented the cable channel position at the time, on channel 24; it has since moved to channel 10, where most community access channels are located in Canada.

In August 2003, the CRTC granted Télé-Mag a terrestrial broadcast license on channel 9, under the calls CHMG-TV. A date of the terrestrial signal's launch has yet to be announced.
