CFKM-DT is the callsign for V's television station in Trois-Rivières, Quebec. It is owned by Remstar Corporation.
The station went to air on September 7, 1986. It was originally launched by Cogeco as a private affiliate of TQS, which was then owned by Jean Pouliot. It became an O&O of the network in 2001 when Cogeco became the network's primary owner. The station was part of V's proposed takeover by Remstar. Since the rebranding of the TQS network on August 31, 2009, CFKM dropped all non-network programming and become a de facto semi-satellite of Montreal's O&O, CFJP-TV.
CFKM shut down its analog signal on channel 16 in early July 2011 and began broadcasting in digital at the same time. The station is first in Canada to complete the digital transition.
Through the use of PSIP, digital television receivers will display CFKM's virtual channel as 16.1.
