Natyf TV is a Canadian television channel, which broadcasts multicultural programming for ethnic minority and racialized communities in Quebec.
[1] Jean-Yves Roux was first granted a CRTC licence in 2012 to launch CNV (Channel New Victory) as an English-language Category B service that would broadcast religious and multicultural programming.
[3] The channel finally launched in June 2018 as a French-language discretionary service on Bell Fibe under the CNV name,[4] and rebranded to Natyf TV in 2019.
[6] Its application received a letter of support from MP Greg Fergus, which was found to violate parliamentary conflict of interest guidelines as MPs are not permitted to influence administrative tribunals such as the CRTC;[7] parliamentary ethics commissioner Mario Dion ultimately ruled that the violation was an accidental oversight rather than a deliberate attempt to wield political influence, but strongly recommended that all MPs should undergo refresher training on conflict of interest rules.
[9] The channel currently broadcasts French-language programming targeted to minority ethnic communities in Quebec, focusing in particular on themes of culture, fashion, health and wellness, the arts and education.
