CBAT-DT is the CBC Television owned-and-operated television station for the province of New Brunswick. Licensed to Fredericton, its studios are located on Regent Street and Vanier Highway in downtown Fredericton. It broadcasts a high-definition over-the-air digital signal on UHF channel 31 (or virtual channel 4.1 via PSIP). There is a high definition feed offered on Rogers Cable digital channel 514 and Bell Aliant TV channel 400. This station can also be seen on Rogers Cable, Bell Aliant TV channel 3 and Bell TV channel 196 It originally broadcast from a transmitter located on Mount Champlain near Saint John, its city of licence until 2011,〔(Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2011-495 )〕 and operated a network of rebroadcasters throughout the province. ==History== The station first went on the air on March 22, 1954 as CHSJ-TV, owned by the Irving family's New Brunswick Broadcasting Company along with CHSJ radio (AM 1150, now at FM 94.1) and located in Saint John. The Irvings also owned Saint John's main newspaper, ''The Telegraph-Journal.'' Its network of rebroadcasters was built up between 1961 and 1978. Originally, CHSJ was the CBC affiliate for southern New Brunswick while CKCW-TV in Moncton served the northern portion. However, in 1969, CKCW switched to CTV and signed on a full-time satellite in Saint John, CKLT-TV. Since CHSJ needed time to build rebroadcasters in the southern part of the province, three of CKCW's rebroadcasters continued to air some CBC programming until 1976. Over the years, CHSJ had a tendency to pre-empt large blocks of network programming, forcing an entire province to miss several of CBC's most well-known shows. This was the subject of complaints to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), which in 1988 mandated that CHSJ clear the base 35-hour block of CBC programming when MITV came along that year with stations in Halifax and Saint John. CHSJ Television was the only primary CBC affilaite in Atlantic Canada to have a Secondary Global affiliate which was perfectly prepared when there sister stations CIHF-TV and CHNB-TV later even before the company did a split-merge to owned and operated stations to Both CBC and Global network which was also opposite to ATV and ASN in Halifax. CTV programming was also held to private CBC stations throughout the 1960s except for some also including CKCW-DT Although CBC's Fredericton and Moncton studios had produced programming for CHSJ as early as the 1970s, New Brunswick remained the final province to get a CBC owned-and-operated television station in 1994, when CBC bought CHSJ-TV from the Irvings, recalled it as CBAT-TV, and relocated its operations to Fredericton. (CBAT's master control has since been consolidated with those of CBC's other Atlantic Time Zone O&Os into a main facility in Halifax, Nova Scotia.) Until the end of analog broadcasting in Canada, CBAT was the only CBC-owned station with a "-TV" suffix in its callsign. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CBAT-DT」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
