Headquartered in Montreal, the network only has terrestrial stations in Quebec. However, parts of New Brunswick and Ontario are within the broadcast ranges of TVA stations, and two TVA stations operate rebroadcasters in New Brunswick. Since becoming a national network in 1998, it has been available on cable television across Canada.
TVA is short for Téléviseurs associés (roughly translated to "Associated Telecasters").[2] This reflects the network's roots as a cooperative.
