CFUM-DT
[edit]CFUM-DT (channel 14) is an community television station licensed to Winnipeg, Manitoba. Owned by U Multicultural Inc., the station will focus primarily on serving the region's diverse ethnocultural and Indigenous communities. Upon its official launch, CFUM-DT is set to become a key station for local multicultural broadcasting in the Winnipeg area.[1][2]
CFUM-DT’s schedule has 60% local programming focused on Winnipeg’s ethnocultural and Indigenous communities. 80% of the programming will be Canadian, and a minimum of 60% of the programming will be local.[1][2]
The station will broadcast a maximum of 40% of the programming to third-language programs per week. The station also indicated that its programming would target a minimum of nine ethnic groups in nine languages.[2]

History
[edit]In May 2023, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) published an application on its website from U Multicultural Inc. to launch a new community television station, alongside a new FM sister radio station (CHEB-FM at 88.7 MHz), in Winnipeg. The application outlined that the television station would operate on UHF channel 14 with an ERP of 2.4 kW.
The CRTC officially approved the application in 2024, noting that an over-the-air community station would benefit the local area and provide access to programming for free.[3]
In October 2025, U Multicultural began conducting on-air signal tests for both CFUM-DT and CHEB-FM. However, the final technical certification faced administrative delays as Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) continued analyzing the broadcast measurements. Consequently, in January 2026, the CRTC granted U Multicultural an extension, giving the station until February 9, 2027, to complete its final construction and officially start regular operations.
Programming
[edit]The station is mandated by its license to broadcast local, community-driven and diverse content. Its programs include:
TVKIDS Show, a children's television show (6-6:30 AM weekdays, 7-7-7:30 AM weekends)
Ukrainian Music for Kids, where Ukrainian composers' music is performed by kids (6:30-7:00 AM weekdays, 2-3 PM weekends)
Ukrainian View, a news program in focused on Ukrainian communities of Manitoba and Canada (12:30-1 PM weekdays, 11-11:30 AM weekends) (Ukrainian)
УКанаді Podcast, a television program in podcast style (Ukrainian) (10-11 PM weekdays, 11-11:30 weekends)
