Saskatchewan Communications Network
City Saskatchewan (formerly known as Citytv Saskatchewan) is a Canadian English language cable television entertainment, information, and educational channel in the province of Saskatchewan. Headquartered in the provincial capital of Regina, the channel is owned by Rogers Media, and is part of its City television system.
City Saskatchewan is licensed by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) as an educational programming service for the province of Saskatchewan, and was formerly a public broadcaster as Saskatchewan Communications Network or SCN owned by the Saskatchewan government. Since becoming a private broadcaster, it has aired commercial-free educational and cultural programming from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m., along with entertainment programming (all currently sourced from City) more favourable to advertisers and viewers throughout the rest of the day.
For being licensed as an educational broadcaster, City Saskatchewan is required to be distributed as part of the basic cable service in Saskatchewan. The channel's broadcast licence is for satellite-to-cable programming only and is not available over-the-air unlike other similar services such as TVO or Télé-Québec. It is also available on both national satellite services, Bell TV and Shaw Direct.

Famous quotes containing the word network:
“A culture may be conceived as a network of beliefs and purposes in which any string in the net pulls and is pulled by the others, thus perpetually changing the configuration of the whole. If the cultural element called morals takes on a new shape, we must ask what other strings have pulled it out of line. It cannot be one solitary string, nor even the strings nearby, for the network is three-dimensional at least.”
—Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)
