CBRT is the television call sign for the CBC's television station in Calgary, Alberta. It broadcasts national CBC programming, as well as a local edition of Canada Now which is hosted by Doug Dirks. Since he joined the show, it has steadily improved in the ratings.
CBC Newsworld also has a production centre at CBRT. It produces Newsworld Today, Your Call, and a Newsworld edition of Canada Now, which is hosted by Kathleen Petty.
CBRT went on the air September 1, 1975, as previous CBC affiliate CFAC (now CICT) became independent. The station initially branded as "CBC 9", later branding as CBRT, then returning to "CBC 9" by 1982. CBRT was one of the first, if not the first, to use the network-channel number branding that has become very popular in the United States in the last few years.
