CHAN-DT, virtual channel 8 (UHF digital channel 22), is a Global owned-and-operated television station located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, which serves as the West Coast flagship station of the network. The station is owned by the Shaw Media division of Shaw Communications. CHAN maintains studio facilities (alongside Global's national news centre) located on Enterprise Street in the suburb of Burnaby, and its transmitter is located atop Mount Seymour. On cable, the station is available on Shaw Cable channel 11. On satellite, the station is also available on Bell TV channel 252, Shaw Direct channel 336 on the classic lineup and channel 5 on the advanced lineup, and Rogers Personal TV channel 119. There is also a high definition feed available on Shaw Cable digital channel 211, and Shaw Direct on classic lineup channel 002 or advanced lineup channel 502. The station is available throughout British Columbia through a large network of rebroadcasters. ==History== The station first signed on the air at 4:45 p.m. on October 31, 1960. Founded by Vantel Broadcasting, it originally operated as an independent station.〔(CHAN TV/BCTV/GLOBAL B.C. GALLERY CH. 8/CABLE 11 IN VANCOUVER )〕 It acquired several programs from CTV upon that network's launch on October 1, 1961; it would eventually join the network formally in 1965.〔Gittins, Susan (1999). CTV: The Television Wars. Toronto: Stoddart Publishing Co. Ltd. ISBN 0-7737-3125-3.〕 The station operated from a temporary studio housed at 1219 Richards Street in Downtown Vancouver, until its full-time studio facility at 7850 Enterprise Street in Burnaby was completed in early 1961. Soon after the station's launch, CHAN began installing relay transmitters across the province, and now reaches 96% of British Columbia. Through its over-the-air signal, CHAN also reaches an American audience in neighbouring Whatcom County, Washington. In 1963, local entrepreneur Frank Griffiths, owner of radio station CKNW (980 AM), purchased CHAN-TV from Vantel, along with nearby CBC affiliate CHEK-TV (channel 6) in the Vancouver Island city of Victoria, from its original owner, David Armstrong. At that point, CHEK began airing a few CTV programs, usually scheduled at different times than when CHAN aired them. It would become a full-time CTV affiliate in January 1981, but maintained a shuffled schedule. Griffiths' Western Broadcasting Co. later sold a minority share of the station to Selkirk Communications, before buying back full control in 1989. In 1986, BCTV set up a fully functional broadcast studio pavilion at the Vancouver Expo 86, whose theme was transportation and communication. The BCTV pavilion allowed visitors to see, and participate, in every step of how a television station operates, as well as how newscasts and television shows were produced. The pavilion was also used by the station for coverage of the Expo, and by visiting journalists.〔http://bobbea.com/expo-86/bctv.html〕〔http://www.bharch.ca/projects/cat/36/id/145〕〔http://www.vancouverisawesome.com/2014/05/08/archie-goes-to-expo-86-the-full-comic-book-online-cc-sarahsaysstuff/〕〔https://books.google.ca/books?id=WaUJAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA110&lpg=PA110&dq=expo+86+BCTV+pavilion&source=bl&ots=JuN8OyBnYj&sig=EX2pinJjqsr3R968oVkN-I2hByQ&hl=en&sa=X&ei=rQeVVbH1DYjVsAXB9rp4&ved=0CDoQ6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q=expo%2086%20BCTV%20pavilion&f=false〕 As early as 1971, CHAN unofficially began using the brand "BCTV".〔()〕〔()〕 In 1973, BCTV became CHAN's official on-air branding, which remained in use until 2001, when it adopted the "Global BC" brand. The "BCTV" brand was retained for its local newscasts until February 2006, but the branding was so effective that many people still call the station by that name today. 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「CHAN-DT」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
