CIII-DT

CIII-DT-41, virtual and UHF digital channel 41, is a Global Television Network owned-and-operated television station located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, which serves as the flagship station of the network. The station is owned by the Shaw Media, a division of Shaw Communications. CIII maintains studio facilities located at 81 Barber Greene Road (near Leslie Street) in the Don Mills district of central Toronto, additional studio space at 121 Bloor Street East in downtown Toronto and its transmitter is located atop the CN Tower in downtown Toronto. The station serves much of the population of Ontario through a network of 13 transmitters across primarily the southern and central portions of the province. On cable, CIII is available on Rogers Cable channels 3 and 116 and in high definition on digital channel 517; on satellite, the station is also available on Bell TV channel 211 and in high definition on channel 1052.
==History==
Ken Soble, the founder of CHCH-TV (channel 11) in Hamilton, Ontario envisioned a national "superstation" of 96 satellite-fed transmitters with CHCH as its flagship. In 1966, he filed the first application with the Board of Broadcast Governors for a network to be branded as NTV — however, the application faced various regulatory hurdles and underwent numerous revisions over the next number of years. The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission eventually decided to go ahead with the publicly owned Anik satellite system instead of relying on private communications companies to build Canada's satellite broadcasting infrastructure, placing the NTV application in jeopardy after Power Corporation of Canada, a key investor in the plan, backed out.
In 1970, one of Soble's former employees, Al Bruner, teamed up with Peter Hill to revive the application under new ownership. Bruner and Hill's group, Global Communications, scaled back the original NTV proposal to a network of seven UHF transmitters in Ontario, whose combined footprint would have provided at least secondary coverage from Montreal to Detroit, Michigan. Global Communications still aspired to eventually build out Soble's original 97-station network, and viewed the seven-transmitter Ontario chain as an interim step. However, since CHCH was no longer involved in the application, Global's iteration of the plan also required the launch of a new station to serve as its flagship.
The station first signed on the air on January 6, 1974 as CKGN-TV (prior to its use by the station, the CKGN callsign had previously been used by what is now CTV owned-and-operated station CKNY-TV in North Bay, Ontario from 1955 to 1962). It branded itself as the "Global Television Network," a name which reflected its then-unprecedented coverage of most of Southern Ontario from six transmitters (a seventh that would have reached Montreal was turned down) fed from a centralized studio. From its launch in 1974 until 2009, the station's main transmitter was licensed to Paris, a small town near Brantford, but Toronto became the station's primary city of licence following an amendment to the channel 41 licence in 2009.〔(CRTC Decision 2009-409 )〕 Through its entire history, however, the station's main studio facility has been based in a converted factory (built 1954 for Barber Greene Canada Limited)〔http://www.tobuilt.ca/php/tobuildings_more.php?search_fd3=6606〕 in the Don Mills area of North York (since 1998, located in Toronto).
It had hoped to be distinct from CBC and CTV by airing a number of its own Canadian-made programs. Three months later, however, many of these programs had been canceled due to deep financial problems. It had made a serious blunder by signing on in the middle of the 1973-74 television season, and prospective advertisers did not have the money to spare for commercial spots. It barely registered as a blip in the ratings; in Toronto, for instance, it only drew a 2.5 share, just a fraction of those drawn by CBC and CTV. Its line of credit was yanked, and it was unable to meet daily expenses.
Amid losses of over a million dollars a month, the network was forced to scrap its ambitious business model just to survive. Instead, it began airing as much non-Canadian content as allowed (at the time, Canadian content regulations required stations to broadcast domestically produced programs for 60% of its overall schedule, and 50% during prime time), becoming essentially a clone of CTV. The station's financial difficulties continued until it was bailed out by two conglomerates in 1977 – a Toronto-based group headed by Paul Morton and a Winnipeg-based group headed by Izzy Asper. The Asper group bought controlling interest in 1985. In 1989, the two groups tried to buy out each other's shares, and the CRTC ended the contest by allowing Asper and his company, CanWest, to take full ownership.
The station's callsign was changed to CIII-TV in January 1984, in accordance with its 10th anniversary of broadcasting. The Windsor/Cottam transmitter would be an exception to the rebroadcasters that were also assigned the CIII calls that month for a few years as it continued to be identified in CRTC documents as CKGN-TV-1, perhaps because of licensing issues with nearby broadcasters in the Detroit market (the CKGN calls are now used by an FM radio station in Kapuskasing, Ontario).
CIII has evolved into a much more Toronto-centric station in recent years. Previously, it employed a number of freelance journalists from across the province who filed reports for ''Global News''. This, along with extensive provincewide weather coverage, gave the station a distinctive Ontario feel for many years. In the late 1990s, its focus had shifted almost exclusively toward Toronto.
Asper's stations (including CKVU-TV in Vancouver, Saskatchewan stations CFRE-TV/Regina and CFSK-TV/Saskatoon, CKND-TV in Winnipeg and CIHF-TV in Halifax/Saint John) formed a mini-network across portions of Canada outside of Ontario that by 1990 was known as the Canwest Global System. After Canwest bought CKMI-TV in Quebec City and set up rebroadcasters in Montreal and Sherbrooke, the Global brand was extended nationwide on August 18, 1997, forming Canada's third national television network. Around this time, CIII became known internally as "Global Ontario," but generally avoided using the name on-air, even after most other Global stations began using regional branding in 2006. The Ontario station began to identify as "Global Toronto" in 2009 following the aforementioned licence amendment, but continues to use only the main Global logo in its bug outside of news programming, unlike other Global stations.
