The third television station in Canada, CBOT went on the air for the first time on June 2, 1953. Before the launch of Télévision de Radio-Canada station CBOFT, CBOT aired both English language and French language programs.
During the late 1970s into the early 1980s, CBOT was known as "CBC 4 Ottawa", and its newscasts were known as "CBC 4 News". In 1980, CBC 4 News at six was anchored by Ab Douglas, and by Joe Spence at 11:27, following The National. In the mid-1980s the station was known as "CBOT 4", then as "CBC Ottawa".
