Network programming from the United States is provided on cable via stations from the Burlington, Vermont/] market; see Template:Champlain Valley TV. 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.
