CIMT-DT is a television station. It is the TVA affiliate in Rivière-du-Loup, Quebec.
The station was launched on September 17, 1978. The station is part of a rare "triple-stick", owned by Télé Inter-Rives, which also owns Radio-Canada affiliate CKRT and V affiliate CFTF.
In addition to several smaller Quebec communities, CIMT also has a rebroadcast transmitter in Edmundston, New Brunswick. CIMT is carried on cable in most areas of New Brunswick as well as in parts of Northern Maine.
As well, like its sister stations CKRT and CFTF, CIMT has a second low-power transmitter (CIMT-DT-6) serving Rivière-du-Loup, as the topography of the area leads to poor reception of the main signal in the lower parts of the city. CIMT's main signal is on channel 9, while its second transmitter in Rivière-du-Loup airs on channel 41.
CIMT-DT was approved by the CRTC for and planned to convert all its transmitters to digital by the August 31, 2011 digital transition deadline, including its transmitters that were not required to convert by this deadline. Only its transmitters in Rivière-du-Loup was obligated to convert, as Rivière-du-Loup was a mandatory market for digital television conversion.
