Television in Canada officially began with the sign-on of the nation's first television stations in Montreal and Toronto in 1952.

As a result, the government institutes quotas for "Canadian content". Nonetheless, new content is often aimed at a broader North American audience, although the similarities may be less pronounced in the predominantly French-language province of Quebec.
