CIIT-DT, UHF channel 35, is a religious television station located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The station is owned by ZoomerMedia. CIIT's studios are located on Osborne Street and Wardlaw Avenue in Downtown Winnipeg, and its transmitter is located near Courchaine Road (near Manitoba Provincial Road 200) in southern Winnipeg. This station can also be seen on Shaw Cable and MTS TV channel 11, Telus Optik TV channel 875 and on Bell TV channel 591. ==History== In February 2002, Trinity Television Inc. was granted a licence for a religious television station in Winnipeg.〔(CRTC Broadcasting Decision 2002-229 )〕 The station was set to be launched in September 2004 as "NowTV", to be the second station using that brand, previously used on Trinity's Vancouver station, CHNU-TV. However, the station did not launch on that date. In 2004, before that station's launch, Rogers Communications bought Trinity Television and took control of CIIT's licence. Under Rogers control, the station was set to be launched again on November 14, 2005 as the fourth Omni Television station, it was later set back again and launched on February 6, 2006 as "Omni 11". The use of channel 35 marks CIIT as Winnipeg's first ever UHF station. On September 28, 2007, Rogers' CRTC application to acquire the Citytv stations, including CHMI in Winnipeg, was approved. As a condition of this approval, Rogers had to sell CIIT and CHNU in Vancouver, in order to comply with CRTC restrictions on owning multiple stations in the same language in the same market. Rogers had a one-year grace period to find new owners for both stations. On November 6, 2007, Rogers Communications announced the sale of CIIT and CHNU to S-VOX. The deal was approved by the CRTC on March 31, 2008. The sale was finalized on April 30, 2008 and S-VOX assumed control of the station on June 30 of that year. Shortly after S-VOX took control of the station, In July 2008, CIIT disaffiliated from the Omni television system and was subsequently rebranded as "CIIT11". S-VOX soon announced that both CIIT and CHNU would rebrand under a newly created television brand, Joytv. CIIT was rebranded again on September 1, 2008 using the on-air brand "Joytv 11". In June 2009, S-VOX announced it would sell its broadcasting assets to ZoomerMedia, a company controlled by Moses Znaimer.〔(VisionTV Board agrees to ZoomerMedia purchase of television properties ), VisionTV press release, June 15, 2009〕 The sale was approved by the CRTC on March 30, 2010.〔http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2010/2010-193.htm〕 ZoomerMedia assumed control of S-VOX's broadcasting assets on June 30, 2010.〔(ZoomerMedia Limited Completes Acquisitions and Financing )〕 In late-August 2013, CIIT re-launched as "Hope TV", dropping the Joytv format and all secular programs in favour of a traditional religious format. 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「CIIT-DT」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
