Télévision de Radio-Canada Atlantique (call sign CBAFT) is Radio-Canada's television service in Atlantic Canada, serving Acadians in the Maritimes and Franco-Terreneuvians in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Its primary studios and transmitter are located in Moncton, New Brunswick and has additional news bureaus in Edmundston, Bathurst, Fredericton, Caraquet, Fredericton and Saint John, New Brunswick;[1] Halifax, Nova Scotia;[2] St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador;[3] and Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.[4]

The service was launched at 6:25 p.m. on December 21, 1959 from Moncton on channel 11. The station slowly added rebroadcasters, such as one serving Fredericton and Saint John in 1973 on channel 5.[5] Radio-Canada later converted CJBR-TV-1 Edmundston, a retransmitter of a former affiliate in Rimouski, Quebec on channel 13, to a rebroadcaster of CBAFT.

Unlike all other Radio-Canada stations, programming in the Atlantic airs one hour later than its scheduled time in the rest of Canada: this noted by the phrase une heure plus tard dans les Maritimes, present on nearly all Radio-Canada network promos. (Due to Newfoundland's small Francophone population, the correct time for programs there is only noted on local promos.)
