CFTF-TV is a French-language television station in Rivière-du-Loup, Quebec, and an affiliate of TQS, a commercial television network in Quebec. The station is owned by Télé Inter-Rives, which also owns Radio-Canada affiliate CKRT and TVA affiliate CIMT, making the station part of a so-called “triple-stick”—three stations owned by a single owner.

The station airs a 15-minute regional newscast at 5:30 p.m. on weekdays from its Rivière-du-Loup studio, with additional reporting from a bureau in Carleton, Quebec at co-owned CHAU.

On June 1, 2007, the CRTC approved a joint application by TQS and Télé Inter-Rives to convert the TQS station in Rimouski, CJPC-TV, from a transmitter of CFJP Montreal to a transmitter of CFTF. As part of the deal, a news bureau would be built in Rimouski, and a limited amount of local programming would be added on CJPC.

CFTF is only one of two TQS affiliates to have more than one transmitter (the other is Val d'Or's CFVS).
