CFTO-DT

CFTO-DT (known on-air as CTV Toronto or simply CTV) is a television station serving as the flagship of the CTV Television Network and is licensed to Toronto, Ontario, Canada; it was one of several charter stations of the network upon its 1961 launch. It broadcasts a high-definition digital signal on VHF channel 9 from a transmitter atop the CN Tower in downtown Toronto, and operates two auxiliary transmitters serving the Orillia and Peterborough areas. It is available on cable and satellite throughout southern Ontario, and can be seen in the Greater Toronto Area on Rogers Cable channel 8 and in high definition on digital channel 518.

Owned by Bell Media, it is sister to cable-exclusive regional news channel CP24 and Barrie-based CTV Two station CKVR-DT, and its studios are located at 9 Channel Nine Court (which was temporarily renamed "Dave Devall Way" throughout 2009 to honor the retiring reporter) in Agincourt, near the junction of Highway 401 and McCowan Road. This makes CFTO the largest CTV O&O station, in terms of market size, whose studios are not located in a downtown area (Montreal is the largest CTV O&O with studios in a downtown area as CFCF has been based in downtown Montreal since 2003).

CFTO now shares the Agincourt studios with the network's headquarters, which includes studios for CTV's news programming (Canada AM, CTV National News and the CTV News Channel), along with most of Bell Media's specialty channels. CTV News has in fact been based at CFTO's studios for most of its history, dating to the days when the network was a cooperative (CFTO's parent company later acquired most of the other affiliates, eventually becoming the present-day Bell Media).
