Moriyama & Teshima Architects is a Toronto-based Canadian architecture firm set up in 1970 as a partnership between Raymond Moriyama and Ted Teshima.

The firm was an outgrowth of Raymond Moriyama Architects and Planners, 1958 to 1970. The practice has carried on business at 32 Davenport Road since 1966. Unlike many architecture and planning firms which have a high turnover in staff, Moriyama and Teshima is a close-knit family-like organization. Several well-known associate architects and designers have been with the firm for over 25 years each, including Don Cooper, Anson Finlay, Joni Inouye, Tom Motomochi, John Snell, George Stockton, and David Vickers. The staff has varied between 25 and 35 people at various times, with the two partners, 5 principals and seven associates and supporting staff. A new partnership arrangement commenced in 1998 as part of the principals' succession planning. This firm brings in Moriyama's two youngest sons, Ajon and Jason, and two young architects, Daniel Teramura and Diarmuid Nash, as partners.

Moriyama & Teshima Architects have a world-wide reputation for excellence in design. They have designed and won awards for a wide variety of public buildings, as well as innovative urban and rural land use plans in Ontario and elsewhere. These include libraries, watershed plans, parklands, civic centres and squares, university campuses, recreational facilities, schools and corporate learning centres, commercial complexes and museums. The firm has also designed significant Ontario government buildings, e.g.: the Ontario Science Centre (Don Mills) and Science North (Sudbury); the Goh Ohn Bell at Ontario Place; Ministry of Natural Resources headquarters (Peterborough); Niagara Parks Commission landscape planning (1987-88).

Moriyama and Teshima were also responsible for the new Canadian Embassy in Tokyo (1991), as well as projects across Canada and in Saudi Arabia, Miami Beach, New Orleans, Chicago and Buffalo.

CFPL-TV, called 'A' since 2008, has been a major private television broadcaster in London, Ontario, providing news coverage of and to southwestern Ontario since 1953.

CFPL-TV was the second private television station to be licensed in Canada; it first went on the air on November 28, 1953 as Channel 10 on the television dial. From 1953 to 1993 it was owned and operated by the London Free Press Printing Company (owned by the Blackburn family) of London. The Blackburns also owned the newspaper, the London Free Press (hence the station' s call letters of F(ree) P(ress) L(ondon)), an AM radio station (opened in 1925) and an FM radio station in (opened in 1948).

In 1968 the London Free Press Company set up a separate division, CFPL Broadcasting Ltd., to operate CFPL-TV as well as the AM and FM radio stations which were also called CFPL. In 1971 CFPL Broadcasting purchased television station CKNX-TV and the CKNX AM radio station in Wingham.

In 1993 CFPL-TV and CKNX-TV were purchased by South West Ontario Broadcasting Inc. (Baton Broadcasting). In October 1993 CHWI-TV (Channel 16) was opened as a semi-satellite of CFPL-TV, with a transmitter located at Wheatley (in 1995 moved to Windsor).

In 1997 in a corporate swap of several stations between Baton and CHUM Television, CFPL-TV became a division of CHUM Television, based in Toronto. As part of the CHUM group of television stations, CFPL was renamed the New PL. Television stations CKNX and CHWI were part of the swap, and became the New NX and the New WI. Its official corporate name, however, became CFPL-TV division of CHUM Ltd.

During the period for which the Archives has news film and scripts (predominantly 1953-1974), CFPL's news program was titled Panorama and later FYI. It broadcasted in black and white until 1970 when colour broadcasts were initiated. The station began as a private affiliate of the publicly owned and operated CBC television (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation), which had gone on the air in 1952 as Canada's first television broadcaster. CFPL's affiliate status with the CBC continued until 1988 when the station went independent. With CHUM Television's acquisition of CFPL-TV in 1997, the television news program was refashioned into the news format pioneered by City-TV, CHUM's local Toronto television station.

In 2005, CHUM announced plans to consolidate the master control departments for CFPL, CKVR, CHRO, CHWI and CKNX in the CHUM-City Building in Toronto; as well, CFPL was rebranded as A-Channel. In June 2007 all of the CHUM Limited channels (except for Citytv) were officially taken over by CTV globemedia. In 2008, CFPL as well as the former A-Channel newsrooms in Victoria/Vancouver, Barrie/Toronto, Windsor, Wingham and Ottawa were rebranded as 'A'.
