For other Citytv and A-Channel outlets, either there was no Speakers' Corner program for that market, or the booth locations are not currently known. In Alberta, Access: The Education Station, which is the provincial broadcaster - owned by CTVglobemedia, operated Speakers Corner.

Mobile booths were also available to increase public access. These were occasionally deployed at special events but were not for private use. There were many requests to rent a mobile video recording booth for weddings and corporate events as seen in Citytv's Speaker's Corner FAQ.
