CityNews Channel was a Canadian English language Category B specialty digital cable television channel from 2011 to 2013. It was owned by the Rogers Media division of Rogers Communications, and primarily focused on the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). The channel was only available in Ontario and broadcast a single feed in high definition which was also accessible through standard definition televisions. The channel's branding was shared with its Rogers-owned conventional television network, City (formerly Citytv), and its news brand ''CityNews''. The channel broadcast from 33 Dundas Street East in Downtown Toronto which also houses studios for City flagship CITY-DT, and Omni Television flagships CFMT-DT (channel 47) and CJMT-DT (channel 40). ==Format== CityNews Channel broadcast as an all-news format, consisting of local news and information from the GTA, and national and international news. It operated on a 24-hour news wheel as seen on-screen, with traffic and weather reports every 10 minutes on the :1s, sports news at :15 and :45 past the hour, and business news (under the title ''CityBiz'') at :26 and :56 past the hour, a similar format used on Rogers-owned all-news radio station in Toronto, CFTR (680 AM; known by its brand "680 News"), and two of CITY-DT's local newscasts, ''CityNews at Five'' and ''Breakfast Television''.

Encore broadcasts of ''CityNews at Six'' were seen on CityNews Channel at 7 p.m. while the 11 p.m. newscast, ''CityNews Tonight'' was repeated on CityNews Channel at midnight.
