CJDC-TV is a privately owned television station affiliated with CBC Television in Dawson Creek, British Columbia, Canada. It broadcasts an analogue signal on VHF channel 5 from a transmitter near 233 Road in Peace River. Owned by Bell Media, it is part of the Great West Television system, and its studios located on 102 Avenue and 9 Street in Dawson Creek. This station can also be seen on Shaw Cable channel 3. ==History== CJDC first went on the air on January 15, 1959, and was originally owned by Mega Communications, the owner of CJDC radio. It was the Michaud family that introduced radio and television to the BC Peace River region. Henry and Mike Michaud, also known as Mike Laverne, started the station in 1959. Before CJDC-TV went to air Mike Laverne went to Toronto to visit advertising agencies and hire a news editor to run the radio and television news services. Mike was successful in getting some new national ads for CJDC-TV and hired Australian-born Val Wake as the first news editor of the station's newscast. At the start the only visuals used by the newscast were 35mm transparencies. The station was originally part of a two-station "sub-network" called Northern Television (NTV) since the early 1990s, until 2002, when it was disbanded and re-launched as Great West Television (joined by CKPG-TV). NTV and GWTV's programming consisted of mainly American shows imported and aired on CHUM Limited's NewNet/A-Channel stations, mixed with CBC's own programming. Great West Television itself would later become virtually non-existent in October 2006, when the CBC expanded its programming schedule to 24 hours a day and the GWTV affiliates accordingly dropped all syndicated programming to accommodate the new CBC schedule, leaving only local news as the remaining parts of GWTV. CJDC was owned by Standard Broadcasting from 2002〔(ARCHIVED - Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2002-91 )〕 until the fall of 2007, when Astral Media acquired most of the company's assets.〔(ARCHIVED - Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2007-359 )〕 On March 16, 2012, it was announced Bell Canada would be acquiring Astral Media for $3.38 billion.〔(BREAKING NEWS -- Astral Enters Agreement to Be Acquired by Bell )〕 However, the deal was rejected by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) that fall.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-investor/crtc-kills-bce-astral-merger-deal/article4621510/ )〕 Bell submitted a revised takeover proposal in 2013, in which it will sell off a number of assets but keep CJDC. Bell has committed to maintaining the station's current conditions of license, including CBC affiliation, until the end of its license term in 2017.〔(Supplementary Brief of BCE Inc. and Astral Media Inc. )〕 Bell owns two networks of its own, CTV and CTV Two, which compete with CBC. The deal was approved by the Competition Bureau in March 2013,〔(BCE takeover of Astral OK’d by Competition Bureau ), ''The Montreal Gazette'' (via The Canadian Press), March 4, 2013.〕 and by the CRTC in June 2013. On October 28, 2015, the CRTC made public an application by Bell to disaffiliate CJDC from CBC Television effective February 22, 2016, at which point the station is scheduled to begin airing programming from Bell's CTV Two system. Bell and the CBC agreed to an early termination of CJDC's affiliation agreement on October 5. Any TV service providers serving the region and not already carrying a CBC Television owned-and-operated station such as CBUT Vancouver (or potentially CBXT or CBRT from Alberta, in light of Dawson Creek being on Mountain Time) on their basic services will have to add one by the disaffiliation date in order to comply with CRTC regulations. 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「CJDC-TV」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
