CKCW-DT is the CTV owned-and-operated television station in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. It broadcasts a high-definition digital signal on UHF channel 29 from a transmitter located on Wilson Road in Hillsborough. It serves as the CTV outlet for both New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island (by way of a repeater in Charlottetown). It is sister station to CKLT-DT in Saint John, which essentially operates as a CKCW rebroadcaster even though it is separately licensed. Owned by Bell Media, it is part of the CTV Atlantic regional system in the Canadian Maritimes. Its studios are located at Halifax and George Streets in Moncton, with a PEI bureau in Charlottetown. On cable, CKCW-DT can be seen on Rogers Cable channel 8 and Eastlink channel 9. ==History== The station first went on the air in 1954 and was founded by Fred A. Lynds and his company, Moncton Broadcasting, along with CKCW radio (AM 1220, now FM 94.5). It was originally the CBC Television affiliate for central and northern New Brunswick. CKCW was part of a regional network of stations called the Lionel Television System. Its mascot was called Lionel the Lobster. On September 21, 1969, as part of a complex realignment of television affiliations in the Maritimes, Saint John's original station, CHSJ-TV (now CBAT-TV) set up a rebroadcaster in Moncton, enabling CKCW-TV to switch to CTV. CKCW then built a full-time satellite in Saint John, CKLT. However, since CHSJ-TV needed time to build rebroadcasters in the northern part of the province, CKCW's rebroadcasters in Campbellton, Upsalquitch and Newcastle continued to air CBC programming until 1976. The two stations were bought by CHUM Limited and merged into the Atlantic Television System, forerunner of CTV Atlantic, in 1972. At the same time, CKCW signed on a repeater in Charlottetown, making PEI the last portion of eastern Canada to receive CTV. Although for many years the station continued to air local programming, since the mid-1990s it has been a semi-satellite of CTV Atlantic flagship CJCH-DT in Halifax, Nova Scotia, except for local news inserts and some commercials. 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「CKCW-DT」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
