CTV Atlantic

CTV Atlantic (formerly known as the Atlantic Television System, or ATV) is a system of four television stations in the Canadian Maritimes, owned and operated by the CTV Television Network, a division of Bell Media. Despite the channel's name, the station is not available on basic cable or analog in Newfoundland and Labrador even though that province is part of Atlantic Canada.

The CTV Atlantic stations are:

  • CJCH-DT - Halifax, Nova Scotia (flagship station)
  • CKCW-DT - Moncton, New Brunswick/Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island
  • CKLT-DT - Saint John, New Brunswick
  • CJCB-TV - Sydney, Nova Scotia

All four stations refer to themselves on air as CTV, not by their call letters. CJCB and CKCW simulcast CJCH for most of the day, but air separate commercials and local telethons. CKLT is a full repeater of CKCW. However, all four stations are separately licenced by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). Station information and history is discussed in each station's own article.

Famous quotes containing the word atlantic:

    Boys hide in lunging cubes
    Crouching to explode,
    Beyond the Atlantic skies,
    With cheerful cries
    Their barking tubes
    Upon the German toad.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
