Media in North Bay, Ontario

Three of North Bay's radio stations find their homes here: EZRock, The Fox and CKAT

This is a list of media in North Bay, Ontario.

Radio

A local non-profit group previously held short-term licenses to broadcast special events programming in both North Bay and Sturgeon Falls on 93.5 FM with the call sign CFDN, but never launched a permanent station.^[1]

Canadore College operates a cable/internet only radio station, "Panther Radio".

TV

North Bay is home to one television station which is locally licensed, CKNY-TV. However, that station effectively acts as a satellite of Sudbury's CICI-TV as part of the CTV Northern Ontario system — the station's only direct local production is a brief local news insert which airs as part of regional newscasts produced at the Sudbury station.

The city formerly also had its own CBC Television affiliate, CHNB-TV. However, that station was acquired directly by the CBC in 2002, and became a straight analogue rebroadcaster of CBLT-DT from Toronto; the repeater would close down on July 31, 2012, due to budget cuts.

The North Bay area is not designated as a mandatory market for digital television conversion. All stations broadcast only in analogue.

Print

The city's main newspapers are the North Bay Nugget, a daily, and the weekly North Bay Nipissing News^[2]

Outdoor

Canada's largest outdoor advertising company, Pattison Outdoor Advertising, has a local office in North Bay.

Internet

In part due to the news cutbacks at CTV Northern Ontario in the early 2000s, several web media outlets have also emerged to provide local news coverage to North Bay. These include BayToday,^[3] North Bay Nipissing News ^[4] and NBTV,^[5] and alternative media outlets such as Solvent Magazine^[6] and North Bay Scene.^[7]
