Yes TV (stylized as yes TV) is a Canadian television system owned by Crossroads Christian Communications, consisting of three stations located in the Greater Toronto Area, Calgary, and Edmonton, and two partial affiliates in Newfoundland and Victoria, British Columbia. Formerly known as the Crossroads Television System (CTS), the three stations air a lineup consisting predominantly of Christian faith-based programming, such as televangelists and Crossroads' flagship program ''100 Huntley Street''. During the late-afternoon and evening hours, Yes TV broadcasts secular, family-oriented sitcoms, game shows, and reality series; the system's September 2014 re-launch as Yes TV emphasized its newly acquired Canadian rights to a number of major U.S. reality series, such as ''American Idol'' and ''The Biggest Loser''. Outside of the three Yes TV stations, the system has also syndicated its acquired programming to other Canadian independent stations. It is operated out of Crossroads' headquarters in Burlington, Ontario. ==History== The Crossroads Television System originally consisted of a single television station, CITS-TV in Hamilton, Ontario (also serving Toronto), with rebroadcast transmitters in London and Ottawa. CITS, launched in 1998, was the second religious terrestrial television station launched in Canada, after CJIL-TV in Lethbridge, Alberta. On June 8, 2007, the CRTC approved Crossroads' application for new television stations to serve the Calgary and Edmonton markets. Respectively, these are CKCS-TV, which broadcasts on channel 32, and CKES-TV, which broadcasts on channel 45; both stations launched on October 8, 2007.〔(CRTC Decision 2007-167 )〕 On August 12, 2014, Crossroads announced that it would relaunch CTS as Yes TV on September 1, 2014. Describing the new brand as "embracing positivity and approaching the world with an affirmative position", the re-launch coincided with the announcement that it had picked up several new secular reality and game shows for the 2014-15 season, including ''America's Funniest Home Videos'' (formerly aired by City), ''American Idol'' (formerly aired by CTV and CTV Two), ''Judge Judy'', ''Jeopardy!'' and ''Wheel of Fortune'' (both formerly aired most-recently by CHCH-DT), ''The Biggest Loser'' (formerly aired by City), and ''The X Factor UK''. Alongside the Crossroads-owned, Yes TV-branded stations, the system has also syndicated some of its secular programs to other independent stations, an arrangement referred to in advertising sales information as the Net5 alliance (referring to the three O&Os and two affiliates).〔(NET5 Profile )〕 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「Yes TV」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
