CKBI-TV
CKBI-TV was a television station in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. The station was in operation from 1958 to 2002 as a private affiliate of CBC Television.
History
CKBI was established on January 27, 1958, by Edward Rawlinson, the founder of Rawlco Communications. Although it primarily aired CBC programming, it also broadcast a mixture of local and privately purchased (i.e. syndicated) programming that differed from full network affiliates. From the early 1980s onward, it was piped into Saskatoon by the local cable provider, Telecable (later Shaw Cable).
In 1984, CKBI was purchased by Yorkton Television, the owner of the CKOS/CICC twinstick in Yorkton. It was the sole station in the market at the time of its sale. In 1986, Yorkton Television was acquired by Baton Broadcasting. Although Yorkton held a license to launch CIPA-TV at the time of its sale to Baton, the station did not go on the air until 1987. Later in 1987, CKBI/CIPA joined with CKOS/CICC, CKCK-TV in Regina and CFQC-TV in Saskatoon to form the Saskatchewan Television Network, which in turn merged with Baton's Ontario stations in 1994 to form the Baton Broadcast System.

Captive
by: Sarah McLachlanThe streets are dark and empty now
Time for another day
Well I walk alone collecting my thoughts
That have gone astray
All of the memories, all of the dreams
Still remains entwined
All that we've had, and all that we've known
Are little by your mind
I only wanted someone to believe in oh, but your words
they're seldom found
'Cause when it comes to the problems that were meant to
be shared
You were not around
Oh but you'll plead with me now
You always stay
You give it one breath then
You're taking it all away
[Chorus:]
What is this love that holds me Captive in your eyes
Well I wish I had the strength to leave it all behind
What's done is done, and you do not give a damn
Just another heartfelt blow by your careless hands
I never thought in my life I could feel so much pain
Trusting in your kind
I never thought I could feel so alone
A faith in love so blind
But after all is said and done
The song remains the same
You please yourself and nobody else
Will you ever change?
Oh, but you'll plead with me now
You always stay
You give it one breath then
You're taking it all away
[Chorus:]
What is this love that holds me Captive in your eyes
Well I wish I had the strength to leave it all behind
What's done is done, and you do not give a damn
