CTV Two Alberta (formerly Access) is a Canadian English language entertainment, information, and educational television channel in the province of Alberta. It is owned by Bell Media as part of its secondary CTV Two television system.
The channel is licensed by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) as an educational programming service for the province of Alberta, and was formerly a public broadcaster owned by the Alberta government. Since becoming a private broadcaster, it has aired a mix of educational programming along with entertainment programming more favourable to advertisers and viewers.
The channel is also designated as a "satellite-to-cable undertaking" serving the whole of Alberta, and is therefore carried throughout the province on cable and licensed IPTV services on each service's basic tier. It is also available on both national satellite services, Bell TV and Shaw Direct. In addition, the station formerly operated two terrestrial transmitters, CJAL-TV (channel 9) in Edmonton, where the channel's main studios are located, and CIAN-TV (channel 13) in Calgary.
