History

CBKFT was licensed by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission on June 9, 1975 and launched on November 8, 1976 by the CBC as a rebroadcaster of CBWFT in Winnipeg, Manitoba, with reception in both Regina and Saskatoon (though reception in Saskatoon was initially spotty, with the city not receiving CBKFT's complete broadcast schedule at first). In 1985, CBKFT was granted a license with 11 new transmitters and began operating as its own television station separate from CBWFT.
