Since 1970, TVOntario has been producing, broadcasting, and
distributing high quality educational programming.
As the province's public educational broadcaster it operates two
distinct networks, the English language TVO and the French
language TFO (formerly la Chaine which will celebrate its 10th
anniversary in 1997).
TVOntario receives 83% of its budget from the provincial
government and generates the other 17% program sales, public
membership, corporate underwriting and merchandise sales. It is
committed to increasing self-generated revenues to a 50-50% ratio
over the next few years.
TVOntario produces, co-produces, acquires and broadcasts award
winning children's and curriculum programming, informative
credit and non-credit courses and provocative arts, science and
public affairs programming. 70% of each network's schedule is
dedicated to children's and educational television. To
complement its on-air educational programming, TFO's very
dynamic team of educators crisscrosses the province to teach
French language teachers in the classroom use of its school
programs. TFO is Canada's only French language television
network producing and broadcasting outside Quebec.
Since 1993 TVOntario has been involved in New Media, at first
with a community-based bulletin board service and more recently
with a presence on the World Wide Web as well as the development
of curriculum based New Media products.
