TV Channel Overview
CTV is a private English-language television network based in Toronto, Ontario, and operated by Bell Media. Its general-interest schedule combines entertainment with national and local news, sports, and information programming, serving audiences in markets across Canada.
The network began in 1961 as a group of privately owned television stations in several Canadian cities. Over time, CTV developed into a national network with stations serving regions including British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, and Atlantic Canada. Local CTV operations contribute regional newscasts and community coverage, while the national schedule brings together Canadian productions and acquired programming.
Drama, comedy, reality and competition formats, news, sports, and major televised events form prominent parts of CTV's current programming. CTV News adds national reporting to the network, while individual stations produce news focused on their own cities and surrounding regions. This combination of a national entertainment schedule and locally produced journalism gives CTV a dual national and regional role within Canada's private television sector.
