Media of Ottawa-Gatineau
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following media outlets are located in Canada's National Capital Region, serving the cities of Ottawa, Ontario and Gatineau, Quebec. The two cities are considered a single media market.
The region's broadcast media, regardless of which community they are officially licensed to, virtually all transmit from the Ryan Tower at Camp Fortune in the Gatineau Hills.

[edit] Television stations
Despite being one of Canada's largest metropolitan areas, many of the "local" stations serving Ottawa-Gatineau are in fact based in southern Ontario, usually Toronto. Notably, the country's second-most-watched network, Global, relies on its Toronto-based station to serve Ottawa viewers.
Of the fourteen(soon to be fifteen ) stations available over the air, only six actually originate from the area and provide local news. These six stations are currently owned by only three companies, with two stations apiece: the CBC (with stations for its English and French networks), RNC Media (which owns the local affiliates of the two private French-language networks, TVA and TQS), and CTVglobemedia (which owns Ottawa's CTV and A-Channel stations).
