Television
The city is served by only one conventional broadcast station which originates programming locally. The remainder are rebroadcasters of stations from other markets.
None of these transmitters have analog to digital (DTV) signals in operation, even though the CRTC has pre-allocated digital channels in case any of them decides to apply for a DTV license. Greater Sudbury did not fall into the category of major broadcasting markets, which was the benchmark for the CRTC to force broadcasters to convert to DTV on August 31, 2011.

Famous quotes containing the word television:
“There was a girl who was running the traffic desk, and there was a woman who was on the overnight for radio as a producer, and my desk assistant was a woman. So when the world came to an end, we took over.”
—Marya McLaughlin, U.S. television newswoman. As quoted in Women in Television News, ch. 3, by Judith S. Gelfman (1976)
“... there is no reason to confuse television news with journalism.”
—Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
“What is a television apparatus to man, who has only to shut his eyes to see the most inaccessible regions of the seen and the never seen, who has only to imagine in order to pierce through walls and cause all the planetary Baghdads of his dreams to rise from the dust.”
—Salvador Dali (1904–1989)
