CKVU-TV : ウィキペディア英語版
CKVU-DT

CKVU-DT, virtual channel 10 (UHF digital channel 33), is a City owned-and-operated television station located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The station is owned by Rogers Media, a division of Rogers Communications (through its Rogers Broadcasting Limited division), as part of a twinstick with Omni Television owned-and-operated station CHNM-DT (channel 42). The two stations share studio facilities located on West 2nd Avenue and Columbia Street (near False Creek) in downtown Vancouver; CKVU maintains transmitter facilities located atop Mount Seymour.
On cable, the station is available on Shaw Cable channel 13, Rogers Cable (a corporate sister to CKVU through Rogers Communications) channel 135 and Bell TV channel 253. On satellite, the station is available on Shaw Direct classic lineup channel 359 and advanced lineup channel 006. There is also a high definition feed on Shaw Cable digital channel 213, Bell TV channel 1153, and Shaw Direct classic lineup channel 005 and advanced lineup channel 505. Telus Optik TV also carries CKVU on channel 106 (HD) and channel 9106 (SD).
==History==
CKVU's history dates back to 1975, when Western Approaches Ltd. was awarded the third television station licence in the Vancouver market by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC).〔(Canadian Communications Foundation: Television Station History: CKVU-TV )〕 The station was originally assigned to broadcast on UHF channel 26, but it was instead given channel 21 prior to its launch. The station first signed on the air on September 1, 1976; originally operating as an independent station, it was the first station in Vancouver to transmit on the UHF band. In addition, CKVU was carried on cable channel 13, an assignment it retains to this day. In its first year of operation, CKVU lost more than $3 million.
In 1979, the station was approaching the break-even point. It was also under the scrutiny of the CRTC at that time due to its lack of local programming. According to the CRTC, CKVU did not produce its own newscasts, but instead relayed the Ontario-focused newscasts from the Global Television Network. That same year, Charles Allard, owner of CITV in Edmonton, purchased a 5% common stock and 7% preferred stock interest in CKVU through his company, Allarcom.〔 Canwest Pacific, a subsidiary of CanWest Broadcasting, loaned $4 million to Western Approaches so it could thwart a takeover attempt from Allarcom. Three years later, CanWest loaned another $8 million to Western Approaches to reduce the station's debt with the condition that CanWest would have the option to purchase Western Approaches' shares in CKVU.
CKVU moved to VHF channel 10 on February 13, 1985, which improved the station's coverage and ratings (channel 10 was originally reserved for a proposed CBC Television station in Victoria,〔(Decision CRTC 85-90 )〕 but that station never went on the air due to lack of funds, clearing the way for CKVU to move its channel allocation). The station moved to VHF to avoid interference with fellow independent station KTZZ (now MyNetworkTV affiliate KZJO) – which broadcast on UHF channel 22 – in Seattle, Washington, which signed on after CKVU's switch to channel 10. Until it was shut down on August 31, 2011 as part of Canada's digital television transition, CKVU's analogue signal, which transmitted from a very high location on Saltspring Island, could be received throughout much of southwest British Columbia and northwest Washington, as well as in some areas of northern Seattle. This analogue transmitter was replaced with two UHF transmitters serving Vancouver and Victoria, both with reduced coverage areas overall, but with improved coverage to those particular metropolitan areas. CKVU also maintained a rebroadcast transmitter located west of Courtenay, CKVU-TV-1, which is received over-the-air on North Vancouver Island.
On December 6, 1985, CanWest announced that it had purchased controlling interest in CKVU, subject to CRTC approval. Western Approaches went to court in an attempt to block the sale, which resulted in a dispute between Western Approaches, Allarcom and Canwest that lasted several years. On June 19, 1987, the Supreme Court of British Columbia ordered Western Approaches to sell its interest in CKVU to CanWest, subject to CRTC approval.〔 Once the sale was approved and all other legal issues were settled, CanWest gained 100% ownership and control of CKVU on July 13, 1988. It then began sharing programs with CanWest's other independent stations, as well as the Global network in Ontario. In 1990, CKVU and Canwest's other independent stations became known as the "Canwest Global System."
Under CanWest's ownership, the station was rebranded as "U.TV", and its audience and profits increased. The station had previously been branded as both "CKVU 13" and "VU13" (both referring to the station's cable channel) and more simply, the "CKVU" call letters. On August 18, 1997, Canwest dropped the more localized brandings from all of its stations and rebranded them as the Global Television Network, as part of a full expansion of the network outside of Ontario to the Canwest Global System stations. Accordingly, after nine years under the "U.TV" brand, CKVU rebranded as "Global Vancouver."
