CJMT-TV is a Canadian television station, which broadcasts multicultural programming in Toronto, Ontario. As one of the Omni Television stations owned by Rogers Media, it uses the on-air brand OMNI.2, and is a sister station to CFMT (OMNI.1).

The J in its call sign has no particular meaning, except that it was an available call sign that maintained the MT (Multicultural Television) from CFMT (CJMT was formerly the callsign of a now-defunct AM radio station out of Chicoutimi, Quebec).

CJMT was launched on September 16, 2002 on channel 44, though it now broadcasts on channel 69. The station was licensed as part of the same process that approved SUN TV (then known as Toronto 1). Like its sister station, OMNI.2 also broadcasts in London and Ottawa.

In October 2007, Rogers announced that the Omni stations would move from 545 Lake Shore Boulevard West to 33 Dundas Street East. The move took place on October 19, 2009. CFMT and CJMT share the facility with Citytv Toronto, which moved to the building the previous month.
