Interactive map
The map below shows the location of AM and FM radio stations, over-the-air television stations and subscription-based television service providers. It is considered latest as of November 30, 2024.
The map also incorporates the aggregated distribution of LTE and 5G wireless coverage across Canada, including the layers of major Highways and roads with and without LTE or 5G services as of August 2025. More information and maps containing these road layers are available in section “Mobile Road Coverage across Canada” of Communications Market Reports - Current trends - Mobile wireless.
Note that public alerts are also available through direct-to-home satellite television services (e.g. Shaw Satellite Services, Bell ExpressVu) with the possible exception of some areas in the far North, if satellite coverage is not available.
How data is gathered and why some providers may not be listed
Each year, the CRTC distributes a survey to update the data. These surveys are sent to AM and FM radio and over-the-air television stations and to subscription-based service providers that hold a broadcasting licence issued by the CRTC. Under certain conditions, no licence is required; in that case, the provider will not appear on the map.
In addition, if a provider started distributing emergency alerts after the survey cut-off date, it will not appear on the map.
