(Thunder Bay, Ontario) |} CJBN is a Canada television station. It is a CTV Television Network affiliate, broadcasting on channel 14 and cable 4 in Kenora, Ontario. It can also be seen on the Bell ExpressVu (channel 223) and Star Choice (channel 320) satellite services. The station is owned by local cable company Norcom Communications. It is one of only three CTV-affiliated stations in Canada that are not owned and operated directly by CTV. It is also noted that the station is Canada's lowest powered television station, with just 178 watts of power. Its main method of distribution is via Norcom's (and others) cable and satellite services. CJBN went on the air for the first time on 1980. ==Programming== Despite being a CTV affilate, the station had aired a fair bit of Global Television Network programming. A reason given for this would be Kenora's location, close to the Manitoba border, and to Winnipeg, Manitoba, where Global is based. Rumours had be circulating that CJBN would disaffilate from CTV, which would have meant CKY-TV would have to provide a service to the Kenora area. However, none of this has happened. The station has also been brought under the CRTC microscope for not airing enough Canadian content. Since this occured in 1999, the station has aired the required amount of Canadian programming required. Since its launch, the station's programming has been primiarly sourced from CTV, with the remainder of the schedule rounded out by Global and syndicated programming. ==News and Local Programming== Due to Kenora's small size, a daily news service isn't considered feasible by the station, instead 2-minute segments of news are produced, and combined into a weekly review programme, as well as other programs aimed at tourists and local residents. It is worth noting that MSNBC presenter Ashleigh Banfield began her career at the station. ==History== CJBN-TV was started by local businessman Carl Johnson, and started in 1980, with an power output of 17.5 watts. It was co-owned with Norcom Telecommunications, whose cable systems served Kenora and surrounding areas. With a potential audience of only 5800 households, it was Canada's smallest television market. The station came about after Norcom applied to operate a central time zone Satellite Relay Distribution System (SRDU), and as such, needed a CTV signal. Winnipeg's CKY, which was the closest CTV affilate to Kenora, was unavailable, so Norcom applied for, and was successful in gaining their own CTV station. The company also planned to set up a series of rebroadcasting stations to expand into nearby areas, but when Cancom secured the main license for the Northern Service uplink, Norcom was left with just CJBN. With the local economy dependent on the pulp and paper industry, the station's future remained precarious, especially with the increase of competiting satellite services available in the area. In 1985, CJBN-TV increased its power to 177.5 watts. In 1999, the station was brought before the CRTC to explain the lack of Canadian content, but two years later, its license was renewed, once evidence of renewed effort toward Canadian content was proven. In 2004, CJBN started to brand itself as ''CJTV'', and in 2004, cable systems in nearby areas and national satellite services began to carry CJBN. In June 2004, the CRTC renewed the license for another seven years, until 2011. ==External Links== [http://www.gokenora.com/ CJTV Online]
