[edit] History
CBKT first went on the air in 1959 as Moose Jaw station CHAB, a privately owned CBC affiliate. CHAB joined CTV in 1962 and signed on CHRE in Regina as a semi-satellite. In 1969, CBC bought CHRE and CHAB and made the Regina station the main station. CKCK, the previous Regina CBC affiliate, switched to CTV upon the CBC's purchase of CHRE and CHAB. It rebranded the stations as CBKRT and CBKMT respectively a year later. The station received its current call letters (with CBKMT renamed CBKT-1) in 1978.
In 2002, CBC purchased former privately owned affiliates CJFB in Swift Current and CKOS in Yorkton, turning both into rebroadcasters of CBKT.
[edit] Newscasts
The station produces a nightly regional newscast, CBC News at Six, anchored by Costa Maragos, which airs stories happening in Regina, Saskatoon, Swift Current, Yorkton and Prince Albert. Before the launch of Canada Now in 2000, the CBC Saskatchewan newscast was known as CBC News Hour. Previously local newscasts on CBKT were known as FYI, 24 Hours, and Newsday.
Past news anchors include Allan Bonner, George Dawes, Sherv Shragge, Sheldon Turcotte, Richard Perry, Holly Preston, and Kristy Snell. Sportscasts were anchored by Beattie Martin, Steve Ruddick, and Glenn Reid.
Weather segments currently originate from the CBC's national weather centre. In the past, weather was delivered locally by Bill Conley, Bryce Eckstein, Howard Thornton, Marilyn Maki, and Sandra Batson.
[edit] Branding
During the latter half of the 1960s the station generally branded itself as Channel 9. After the switch to the CBC, the brand used was "9&4" or "CBC 9&4", to signify both the Regina and Moose Jaw channel numbers. After a brief flirtation with "TV9 Regina", the station returned to "9&4" in the 1980s, this time to signify the station's cable channel position.
Today the station is branded just as "CBC" or "CBC Saskatchewan".
