After the analog television shutdown and digital conversion on August 31, 2011, CIVT-DT moved from pre-transition channel number 33, to its post-transition channel number 32 with a maximum ERP of 33 kW. Through the use of PSIP, digital television receivers display CIVT-DT's virtual channel as 32.1.

On February 19, 2009, CIVT-DT was approved to increase its maximum ERP from 2.2 kW to 12.6 kW due to poor reception throughout the Greater Vancouver area including Vancouver proper.

Famous quotes containing the words television, high and/or definition:

    The television screen, so unlike the movie screen, sharply reduced human beings, revealed them as small, trivial, flat, in two banal dimensions, drained of color. Wasn’t there something reassuring about it!—that human beings were in fact merely images of a kind registered in one another’s eyes and brains, phenomena composed of microscopic flickering dots like atoms. They were atoms—nothing more. A quick switch of the dial and they disappeared and who could lament the loss?
    Joyce Carol Oates (b. 1938)

    Because of these convictions, I made a personal decision in the 1964 Presidential campaign to make education a fundamental issue and to put it high on the nation’s agenda. I proposed to act on my belief that regardless of a family’s financial condition, education should be available to every child in the United States—as much education as he could absorb.
    Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)

    One definition of man is “an intelligence served by organs.”
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
