History
CKNY was originally launched by local businessmen Gerry Alger and Gerry Stanton in 1955, as a CBC affiliate with the callsign CKGN. The station was subsequently acquired by The Thomson Corporation in 1960, and recalled as CFCH.
In 1970, the station was acquired by Cambrian Broadcasting, the owner of CKSO in Sudbury, and adopted the current CKNY callsign. In 1971, Cambrian's stations re-affiliated with CTV, and J. Conrad Lavigne's new CBC affiliate, CHNB, went on the air in North Bay the day of CKNY's affiliation switch. CKNY broadcast as a semi-satellite of CKSO (later CICI) in Sudbury.
CICI-TV
CICI-TV is the CTV owned-and-operated television station in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. It broadcasts an analogue signal on VHF channel 5 from a transmitter near Huron Street in Sudbury.
Owned by Bell Media, it is the flagship station of the network's CTV Northern Ontario sub-system and its studios are located on Frood Road and Lasalle Boulevard on the northwest side of Sudbury. This station can also be seen on EastLink TV channel 4.
History
The station was launched on October 25, 1953 by Sudbury businessmen George Miller, William Mason, Jim Cooper and Bill Plaunt, and was the first private television station to launch in Canada. Its original call sign was CKSO-TV. The station was a CBC affiliate, receiving programs by kinescope until a microwave relay system linked the station to Toronto in 1956. The station originally broadcast only from 7 to 11 p.m., but by the end of its first year in operation it was on the air from 3:30 p.m. to midnight.
CKSO remained affiliated with the CBC from its launch in 1953 until 1971, when it joined CTV along with sister station CKNY-TV in North Bay. A new CBC affiliate, CKNC, went to air in Sudbury the day of CKSO's affiliation switch. CKSO's first rebroadcast transmitter, CKSO-TV-1, was established in Elliot Lake shortly after CKSO launched. A second transmitter, CKSO-TV-2, was established in Timmins in 1971 when CKSO switched to the CTV network. When CKSO changed to CICI in 1980, the Timmins repeater broke off as a standalone station, CITO-TV.

Gone
by: DiveRemember when you used to cry
Then I would watch you fall asleep
And all the times we used to fight
But you were everything to me
Now do you ever say my name?
And do you every think of me?
Will this ever be the same?
Will it ever be the same?
And you're gone, will I ever find you?
Gone, does he even love you?
Gone, will he ever know you like I did?
And you're gone, will I ever see you?
Gone, when I breathe I breathe you
Gone, will he ever know you like I did?
Do you know how I used to try
To make you see how much I cared
And now I'm left with just the lie
Was there no trust or were you scared?
Now can you smile and say his name?
Or do you cry and think of me?
Will this ever be the same?
Will it ever be the same?
And you're gone, will I ever find you?
Gone, does he even love you?
Gone, will he ever know you like I did?
And you're gone, will I ever see you?
Gone, when I breathe I breathe you
Gone, will he ever know you like I did?
Was there nothing left for you to take from me?
Gone, will I ever find you?
Gone, does he even love you?
Gone, will he ever know you like I did?
And you're gone, will I ever see you?
Gone, when I breathe I breathe you
Gone, will he ever know you like I did?
And you're gone, will I ever find you?
Gone, does he even love you?
Gone, will he ever know you like I did?
And you're gone, will I ever see you?
(was there nothing left)
Gone, when I breathe I breathe you
(for you to take)
Gone, will he ever know you like I did?
