CBXFT-DT, virtual channel 11 (UHF digital channel 47), is a Ici Radio-Canada Télé owned-and-operated television station located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada serving the province's Franco-Albertan population. The station is owned by the Société Radio-Canada arm of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, as part of a twinstick with CBC Television owned-and-operated station CBXT-DT (channel 5). The two stations share studios on 75th Street West at the Edmonton City Centre, across from Winston Churchill Square, in downtown Edmonton, CBXFT's transmitter is located in Sherwood Park. This station can also be seen on Shaw Cable channel 12. This station is also available on Bell TV channel 119 and in high definition on channel 1830. A semi-satellite in Calgary (using the callsign CBRFT) airs separate commercials, but otherwise airs identical programming. The local newscast at 6:00 p.m. is called ''Le Téléjournal/Alberta'' and is presented by Ludovick Bourdages. The station first signed on the air on March 1, 1970. For its first three years, 1970 to 1973, CBXFT also aired weekday English-language educational programming from the Metropolitan Edmonton Educational Television Association (MEETA). This ended when Access (CJAL-TV) began in 1973. ==Transmitters== CBKST operated ten analog over-the-air television rebroadcasters broadcasting throughout the province of Alberta including transmitters in Bonnyville, Falher, Fort McMurray, Grande Prairie, Hinton, Red Deer, Jean Côté, Lac La Biche, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat and Peace River. Due to federal funding reductions to the CBC, in April 2012, the CBC responded with substantial budget cuts, which included shutting down CBC's and Radio-Canada's remaining analog transmitters on July 31, 2012.〔(Speaking notes for Hubert T. Lacroix regarding measures announced in the context of the Deficit Reduction Action Plan )〕 None of CBC or Radio-Canada's rebroadcasters were converted to digital. CBC had originally decided that none of its rebroadcasters will transition to digital. Also, the CBC had originally planned to not convert any non-originating stations in mandatory markets to digital, which would have forced CBRFT in Calgary and CBXFT-3 in Lethbridge to sign off on the transition date. On August 16, 2011, the CRTC granted the CBC permission to continue operating 22 repeaters in mandatory markets, including CBRFT and CBXFT-3, in analog until August 31, 2012, by which time the transmitters had to convert to digital or shut down. 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「CBXFT-DT」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
