CKSA-DT is a privately owned television station serving as an affiliate of CBC Television in the city of Lloydminster, located on the border of the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. It broadcasts a digital signal on VHF channel 2 from a transmitter located near Highway 17 and Township Road 512, near the Saskatchewan provincial line.

Owned by Newcap Radio, it is sister to CTV affiliate CITL-DT and both stations share studios located on 50 Street and 51 Avenue on the Alberta side of Lloydminster. On Shaw Direct, the channel is available in high definition on channel 019 (Classic) or 519 (Advanced). This station can also be seen on Shaw Cable channel 5.

CKSA clears the vast majority of the CBC network schedule, the only usual exceptions being some overnight programming, as the station signs off each night after 3 a.m., then returns to the air with paid programming between 4:30 and 6 a.m.

Newscasts

CKSA's newscasts air during CBC O&Os' standard local news timeslots – from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. and from 11:00 to 11:30 p.m. on weekdays. There are no weekend newscasts.
