Salt + Light Television ( _fr. Télévision Sel + Lumière) is a Canadian category 2 digital cable specialty channel. Launched in July 2003, it is the first Catholic national television channel in Canada. The channel airs programming in several languages, although prominently in English along with several French programs airing under the brand "Télévision Sel + Lumière" as well as Italian programs.Owned by the not-for-profit "Salt and Light Catholic Media Foundation" and based in Toronto, Ontario, "Salt + Light Television" is supported by St. Joseph Communications, which is the largest privately owned communications company in Canada. Both St. Joseph and Salt + Light were founded by businessman Gaetano Gagliano.

The name of the station derives itself from the theme of WYD 2002, "You are the salt of the earth... you are the light of the world," part of the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:13-14). The National Director of WYD 2002, Fr. Thomas Rosica, is the Chief Executive Officer of "Salt + Light Television". The station also employs people both in front of, and behind, the camera.

Programs range from daily news and current events to special features and films. Most programming falls into one of five categories:

*National and international stories of Catholic Action and Social Justice
*Stories of Catholic Communities
*Learning and Faith Development
*Prayer, Devotion and Meditation
*Catholic liturgy, including daily Mass and Vatican ceremonies

"Salt + Light Television" has been endorsed by national and international Catholic leaders and organizations, including the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, the Vatican Television Center, and many departments of the Vatican.
