List of CBC television stations

CBC Television is a Canadian English language television network made up of sixteen owned-and-operated stations (including two full-power satellites) and seven private affiliates. This is a table listing of CBC Television's stations, with CBC-owned stations separated from privately owned affiliates, and arranged by market. This article also includes former self-supporting stations currently operating as rebroadcasters of regional affiliates, stations no longer affiliated with CBC Television and stations purchased by the CBC that formerly operated as private CBC Television affiliates.

The station's virtual channel number (if applicable) follows the call letters. The number in parentheses which follows is the station's actual digital channel number, digital channels allocated for future use listed in parentheses are italicized.

CBC Television's O&Os operate for the most part as a seamless national service, with few deviations from the national schedule. The seven affiliates carry a minimum 40 hours per week of CBC network programming.

Notes:
1) Two boldface asterisks appearing following a station's call letters (**) indicate a station that was built and signed-on by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation;
2) Italicized channel numbers indicate a digital channel allocated for future use by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission.
