CTV Television Network: Difference between revisions

CTV is Canada's oldest private broadcaster, and second-oldest network behind the publicly owned [[CBC]]. It began broadcasting in 1961, nine years after the CBC, and was established for many of the same reasons that [[ITV]] was in the United Kingdom: to end the public monopoly over Canadian broadcasting and provide choice for viewers. (Throughout the history of analog transmission, most Canadians have been able to watch the [[ABCAmerican Broadcasting Company|three]] (and later [[FOX|four]]) [[NBC|American]] [[CBS|networks]] as well. Simulcasts with Canadian stations are plastered over on cable.)
