History

1958 The government of Prime Minister John Diefenbaker passed a new Broadcasting Act, with which the supervisory authority, the Board of Broadcast Governors (the predecessor of today's Canadian Radio-Television Telecommunications Commission to ) was founded. When the monopoly of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC ) was slowly drawing to a close, the new supervisor decided to establish the foundation of a second transmitter network. The Authority wrote broadcasting rights from Halifax and Montreal, which should be supplied with bilingual programs in English and French. Other broadcasting authorizations have been advertised for the cities Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver to offer an alternative to the inhabitants, in addition to the programs offered by CBC.

The new station CTV Television Network was officially launched on 1 October 1961. September 1, 1966, the transmitter turned on the TV color system to. Over the following years, the station has developed into a network.

In the following years further regional studios were added. Since 2003, the program is broadcast in 16:9 widescreen format.
