Montreal has a large and well-developed communications system, including several English and French language television stations, newspapers, radio stations, and magazines. It is Canada's second-largest media market, and the centre of francophone Canada's media industry.

Television stations
Canada's major French-language networks are all headquartered within a few blocks of each other on Boulevard René-Lévesque in downtown Montreal.
Network programming from the United States is provided on cable via stations from the Burlington, Vermont/Plattsburgh, New York market; see Template:Champlain Valley TV. Several American channels can be received over the air in Montreal from Burlington and/or Plattsburgh including: WPTZ (NBC), WCAX (CBS), and WCFE (PBS). Montreal is ten times larger than the entire American population of the Burlington/Plattsburgh market; indeed, for decades most stations in that market depended on advertising in Montreal for their survival.

Radio stations
A number of radio stations from New York and Vermont may be heard in Montreal, most notably WVMT 620 AM, WEAV 960 AM, WEZF 92.9 FM, WYUL 94.7 FM, WBTZ 99.9 FM, and WVPS 107.9 FM. WYUL, while based in the United States, is focused on Montreal as a rimshotter. CFRA 580 AM from Ottawa is also clearly available in Montreal, as is CITE-FM-1 102.7 FM from Sherbrooke (a sister station of, but programmed separately from, CITE-FM).
The Greater Montreal area had a number of radio stations that were shut down over the years.
In 2013, the new local media firm Tietolman-Tétrault-Pancholy Media, whose partners included former Montreal City Councillor Nicolas Tétrault, received licenses to launch three new radio stations on the AM band: a French sports station on AM 850, an English talk radio station on AM 600, and a French talk radio station on AM 940. As of August 2016, the AM 850 license has lapsed unbuilt, with both of the other licenses due to expire in November if the stations have not launched by then.
