The Canadian Television Fund supported the production and broadcast of Canadian television programs. On 1 April 2010, the Canadian Television Fund became the Canada Media Fund. A non-profit corporation operating as a public-private partnership, the CTF is financed by contributions from the Government of Canada through the Department of Canadian Heritage and the Canadian cable and direct-to-home satellite industries.
The CTF develops and implements policies to offer financial contributions to Canadian producers through specific program funding streams. At present, file administration of these programs is contracted to the Television Business Unit at Telefilm Canada.
