CBKST

CBKST was the CBC Television owned-and-operated television station in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. Broadcasting an analogue signal on VHF channel 11 from a transmitter located between Highways 5 and 41, it was a semi-satellite of CBKT-DT in Regina and aired separate commercials.

On July 31, 2012, CBKST was shut down. On July 17, 2012, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) approved CBC's application to revoke CBKST's licence, effective August 1, 2012.

Owned by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, its master control facilities were located on 2nd Avenue South (between 21 and 22 Streets East) in Downtown Saskatoon. This station could also be seen locally on Shaw Cable channel 12 and Sasktel Max channel 3.

Although it operated as a semi-satellite of CBKT, CBKST was licensed as a rebroadcaster. While the CBC originally planned to discontinue CBKST's over the air feed on August 31, 2011 (as the corporation did not originally plan to convert rebroadcasters in mandatory transition markets like Saskatoon to digital), the CRTC granted the CBC permission to allow transmitters in selected mandatory markets, including Saskatoon, to still operate an analogue feed until August 31, 2012.
