Canterbury Television is an independent television station broadcasting in Canterbury, New Zealand.
The name is synonymous with regional television in New Zealand as it was the name of the first regional broadcaster to operate in New Zealand. CTV produces and screens more than twenty hours of locally based programming every week. It also screens overseas programming from Deutsche Welle, Bloomberg Television, CCTV-9, Voice of America and Al Jazeera. It broadcasts from the Sugarloaf transmitter on the Port Hills.
After the 22 February 2011 Christchurch earthquake and collapse of the CTV Building, CTV was unable to produce or broadcast any services. On 18 April 2011 CTV resumed service at a new base location at the Mainland Press building in the Christchurch suburb of Harewood.
