Could someone add info on CTV's HD channels to this article? CTV HD East & CTV HD West.

To whoever added CFCN-5, CKNY-11, etc. to the article: a rebroadcast or semi-satellite transmitter does not merit its own article independently of its originating station, unless it's a former originating station that can be categorized under Category:Defunct Canadian television stations. They may be noted in the originating station's article. Bearcat 02:42, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Why do not have CTV stations at Northwest Territories, Yukon and Nunavut?

As far as I know, there have never been originating CTV stations or affiliates in northern Canada. Northern communities getting CTV would be picking them up from the major urban centres like Vancouver or Toronto because Whitehorse, Yellowknife and Iqaluit are too small to support other originating TV stations beyond CBC North and APTN.

[edit] MTV Canada

CTV is now in partnership with MTV. CTV runs MTV programing late nights on Saturdays. They run shows like Wild Boyz, etc.. It should be noted somewhere on the page. I just don't know where. Mr. C.C. 06:45, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "CTN"???

I'm tempted to just go ahead and change this, but let's thrash this out yet again first. I've yet to see ANY firm evidence that the network went to air under the name CTN. Gittins' book makes it quite clear: Caldwell wanted to CALL the network CTN, the CBC objected, and when the network launched it was with the name CTV, which officially stood for nothing. Can anyone prove otherwise? (If the only source is the article at broadcasting-history.ca[1], I'm just plain skeptical of that article.) Surely if the network broadcast as CTN, there would have been a logo -- press kits -- photos -- anything! All right, I'm done. Brithgob 07:09, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Found the 2 October 1961 Globe and Mail article on the CTV launch and added the reference and info from the article. That item made no mention of the network being called CTN, it was referred to as CTV from the first night. Perhaps other editors with access to other paper archives (Toronto Star, or for other cities, as may be available through libraries) could corroborate this. Dl2000 00:24, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Discription of the Biennial Liberal Convention

I don't have a varifiable source for this, but CTV has been erroneously discribing (coverage Nov 29-Dec 1), the Biennial Liberal Convention as the Liberal Leadership Convention. The Liberal Leadership Convention begins on Dec. 2. Could or should, anyone with a source, add this CTV mistake to the article? GoodDay 19:55, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Mistake or not, CTV is not the only outlet to call it that, and I would not consider it a notable issue in any event. — stickguy (:^›)— || talk || 20:15, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Alright, I'll agree with that. GoodDay 20:26, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CTV radio network

with CTVGlobemedia buying CHUM will they lauch CTV radio national news.spiddy 23:16, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

There was a "CTV Radio News" on the radio some years back, but it was syndicated by CTV to individual radio stations across Canada as a vehicle for CTV News at the time. Since CTV's origins are in television, however, I don't think "CTV radio network" will be used as a name per se for the current CHUM stations once CTVglobemedia buys CHUM (pending CRTC approval), but they might go with something else. Starbuck-2 05:31, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

It's certainly possible; just as possible would be a TSN-branded national sports radio network. Let's wait and see. Bearcat

[edit] Treehouse

I need my memory fixed. Was there a CTV kids show called 'Treehouse'? I know there's a Canadian kids show called that. If so, could it be added (with a varifiable link). GoodDay 22:56, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Treehouse (or Tree House?) was a local CKCO-TV (CTV affiliate) children's show. Can't determine if it was ever broadcast on the full CTV network or syndicated to other affiliates, though. Some indirect refs: [2] [3] Dl2000 01:56, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for jogging my memory, Letters, we get letters, we get lots'n lots of letters. GoodDay 17:32, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

a show did exist although i do not know the full name. the host was a blonde burley fellow who played guitar, told stories and had both puppets and children on the show. I believe in ran from the late 1970's to the early 1980's. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.103.161.1 (talk) 22:06, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:CTV80s.jpg

Image:CTV80s.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 03:55, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ratings

Re: television ratings — being the #1 network is defined by the overall aggregate audience over the entire schedule, not by merely happening to have the single most-watched show. Accordingly, CTV's claim to #1 status is not disputable, as the network does currently have a higher aggregate audience than Global, and it violates both POV and original research rules to propose an alternate reading of the Nielsen numbers. Bearcat 21:16, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Because CTV British Columbia will go off-air,

I see the following (Indicated with precision):

CTV signs off at 04:30 or later only on nights when there is a movie, and signs on at 05:01.

Do any other CTV owned and operated (Not including CITL, CHFD and CJBN) CTV stations sign off? And if so, which ones? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 154.5.181.164 (talk) 00:41, August 26, 2007 (UTC)
