This is a list of television and radio stations along with a list of media outlets in and around Toronto, Ontario including the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Toronto is Canada's largest media market, and the fourth-largest market in North America (behind New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago).
The incumbent cable provider in the Toronto area is Rogers Cable, which originally secured the cable franchise for most of the pre-amalgamation city of Toronto, and later purchased the systems in surrounding areas. Since 2010, Bell Fibe TV (an IPTV terrestrial service operated by Rogers' rival Bell Canada) has been available in most neighbourhoods in the Greater Toronto Area. Independent IPTV television services such as Vmedia and Zazeen have also become available.
American network affiliates on Toronto cable are piped in from Buffalo, New York, including WGRZ (NBC), WIVB (CBS), WKBW-TV (ABC), WUTV (Fox), and WNED-TV (PBS). Digital cable subscribers can also watch WNYO-TV (MyNetworkTV) and WNLO (The CW). Many of these stations can be seen over the air throughout the Greater Toronto Area.
Toronto has seven times the population of the Buffalo market. In particular, WUTV and WNED rely heavily on viewership from Toronto; both have long identified as serving "Buffalo/Toronto," and also have sales offices in the city. More than half of WNED's members live in Toronto.
Most of Canada's cable television networks also have national operations based in Toronto; for more information, see List of Canadian television channels. See Digital television in Canada for information relating to the transition to HDTV in Canada.
Numerous radio stations licensed to communities outside the City of Toronto are also marketed to the City of Toronto proper, as well as the rest of the Greater Toronto Area. This includes one American station.
