CBXT-DT, virtual channel 5 (UHF digital channel 42), is a CBC Television owned-and-operated television station located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The station is owned by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, as part of a twinstick with Ici Radio-Canada Télé owned-and-operated station CBXFT-DT (channel 11), through the CBC's Société Radio-Canada arm. The two stations share studios on 75th Street West at the Edmonton City Centre, across from Winston Churchill Square, in downtown Edmonton; CBXT's transmitter is located in Sherwood Park. This station can also be seen on Shaw Cable channel 4 and in high definition on digital channel 209. On Shaw Direct, the channel is available on 307 (Classic) or 019 (Advanced), and in high definition on channel 012 (Classic) or 512 (Advanced). This station is also available on Bell TV channel 230 and in high definition on channel 1120, and on Telus Optik TV channel 621. == History == The station first went on the air on October 1, 1961 as Edmonton's second television station; the previous CBC affiliate, CFRN (channel 3), switched to the newly established CTV on the same day. Initially, it was branded as "CBXT 5", or "Channel 5". After being known as "Edmonton/5" in the late 1970s, it became known as "XTV" in 1980. It reverted to the "Edmonton 5" brand in the mid-1980s and then, by 1990, became "CBC Television Edmonton". Its local newscasts were originally known as ''Metro''. When CBXT signed on, it was the first television station in Canada to use television cameras that could be remotely controlled from a control room, and did not need constant adjustment. In 2004, the CBC's Edmonton operations moved into a new digital broadcast facility downtown, bringing all operations of radio and television, under one roof. The old television facility on 75th Street was , while the radio building on 51st Ave. was . The new combined facility at the Edmonton City Centre totals 38,700 square feet. At the same time, master control was consolidated with those of CBRT in Calgary into a single facility presently based at the CBC Studios in Calgary. When Red Deer's CKRD-TV disaffiliated from CBC Television in 2005 (switching to CH, reverting to its original calls CHCA-TV), CBXT was given control of the transmitter in Coronation, Alberta (CKRD-1) on channel 10. CBXT added a transmitter on channel 22 in Red Deer, broadcasting the full CBXT/CBC schedule to Red Deer and Central Alberta. 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「CBXT-DT」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
