Television
Thunder Bay receives Global and CBC service from a locally-owned twinstick operation rather than network-owned stations, the largest city in Canada and the only one in Ontario with such an arrangement.
Thunder Bay Television usually uses the on-air branding scheme of Thunder Bay Television, and then the name of the network to which the channel is affiliated, except in cases when the channel is airing programming from a network to which it is not affiliated, when the network name is substituted for the channel's call sign.
WBKP channel 5, the CW affiliate in Calumet, Michigan can be received in Thunder Bay with an outdoor roof antenna and a digital-capable television or receiver.
| Channel | PSIP | Cable | Call sign | Affiliation | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 2.1 | 5 | CKPR-DT | CBC | Thunder Bay Television |
| 4 | 4.1 | 6 | CHFD-DT | Global | Thunder Bay Television |
| 9 | 9.1 | 8 | CICO-DT-9 | TVOntario |

Famous quotes containing the word television:
“History is not what you thought. It is what you can remember. All other history defeats itself.
In Beverly Hills ... they don’t throw their garbage away. They make it into television shows.
Idealism is the despot of thought, just as politics is the despot of will.”
—Mikhail Bakunin (1814–1876)
“Photographs may be more memorable than moving images because they are a neat slice of time, not a flow. Television is a stream of underselected images, each of which cancels its predecessor. Each still photograph is a privileged moment, turned into a slim object that one can keep and look at again.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“It is among the ranks of school-age children, those six- to twelve-year-olds who once avidly filled their free moments with childhood play, that the greatest change is evident. In the place of traditional, sometimes ancient childhood games that were still popular a generation ago, in the place of fantasy and make- believe play . . . today’s children have substituted television viewing and, most recently, video games.”
—Marie Winn (20th century)
