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.
