The station was launched at 6:25&nbsp;p.m. on December 21, 1959, from Moncton on channel 11. The station slowly added rebroadcasters, such as one serving Fredericton and [[Saint John, New Brunswick|Saint John]] in 1973 on channel 5.<ref>{{cite web|title=CBAFT Station History|url=http://www.broadcasting-history.ca/listings_and_histories/television/histories.php?id=67&historyID=89|access-date=December 17, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071031151617/http://www.broadcasting-history.ca/listings_and_histories/television/histories.php?id=67&historyID=89|archive-date = October 31, 2007|url-status=dead}}</ref> Radio-Canada later converted [[CJBR-DT|CJBR-TV-1]] [[Edmundston]], a retransmitter of a former affiliate in [[Rimouski]], Quebec on channel 13, to a rebroadcaster of CBAFT.

Unlike all other Radio-Canada stations, programming in the Atlantic region airs [[Atlantic Time Zone|one hour later]] than its scheduled time in the rest of Canada; this noted by the phrase {{lang|fr|Une heure plus tard dans les Maritimes}}, present on nearly all Radio-Canada network promos. (Due to Newfoundland's small Francophone population, the [[Newfoundland Time Zone|correct time]] for programs there is only noted on local promos.)
