CJON-DT

CJON-DT (branded on-air as NTV, short for "Newfoundland Television") is an English language independent television station in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. It broadcasts a high-definition digital signal on UHF channel 21 from a transmitter atop the South Side Hills, and also operates additional transmitters throughout the province. Owned by Stirling Communications International (run by Geoff Stirling and his family), its studios are located on Logy Bay Road in St. John's.

Through extensive coverage in Canada, this station can be seen on Rogers Cable channel 5 (in St. John's/Corner Brook/Gander NL); EastLink TV channel 7 (most other parts of NL); Bell Aliant IPTV channel 27 (NL/NS/NB); Bell TV channel 199; Shaw Direct channel 63; Telus Optik TV channel 30 (AB/BC); and Vidéotron Illico channel 405 (QC). There is a high definition feed offered on Rogers Cable channel 521, EastLink TV channel 605 and Bell Aliant IPTV channel 404.

It was Newfoundland and Labrador's first television station, and it remains the province's only privately-owned station. NTV is well known for its unusual mix of programming, particularly in the overnight hours. Although nominally an independent station, in practice it sublicenses entertainment programming from Global and news programming from both CTV and Global, rather than purchasing primary broadcast rights as most independent stations do.
