Television
Thunder Bay receives Global and CBC service from a locally-owned twinstick operation rather than network-owned stations, the largest city in Canada and the only one in Ontario with such an arrangement.
Thunder Bay Television usually uses the on-air branding scheme of Thunder Bay Television, and then the name of the network to which the channel is affiliated, except in cases when the channel is airing programming from a network to which it is not affiliated, when the network name is substituted for the channel's call sign.
WBKP channel 5, the CW affiliate in Calumet, Michigan can be received in Thunder Bay with an outdoor roof antenna and a digital-capable television or receiver.
| Channel | PSIP | Cable | Call sign | Affiliation | Notes |

| 2 | 2.1 | 5 | CKPR-DT | CBC | Thunder Bay Television |
| 4 | 4.1 | 6 | CHFD-DT | Global | Thunder Bay Television |
| 9 | 9.1 | 8 | CICO-DT-9 | TVOntario |

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)
“The technological landscape of the present day has enfranchised its own electorates—the inhabitants of marketing zones in the consumer goods society, television audiences and news magazine readerships... vote with money at the cash counter rather than with the ballot paper at the polling booth.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
“It is among the ranks of school-age children, those six- to twelve-year-olds who once avidly filled their free moments with childhood play, that the greatest change is evident. In the place of traditional, sometimes ancient childhood games that were still popular a generation ago, in the place of fantasy and make- believe play . . . today’s children have substituted television viewing and, most recently, video games.”
—Marie Winn (20th century)
