(Yorkton, Saskatchewan) |} CKCK in Regina, Saskatchewan was the first privately-owned television station in Western Canada. CKCK signed on in 1954. It was originally owned by the Sifton family's Armadale Co., which also owned the ''Regina Leader-Post'' and CKCK Radio. Originally a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation affiliate, it switched to the private CTV network in 1969, when CHAB/CHRE in Moose Jaw was purchased by the CBC. In 1977, it was sold to Harvard Developments, owned by Regina's Hill family. In 1985, a 90 percent stake would be sold (the remaining 10 percent would soon follow) to Baton Broadcasting, bringing it under common ownership with Saskatchewan's other CTV affiliates, CFQC Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, CICC/CKOS Yorkton, and CIPA/CKBI Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. Today, it operates as a CTV owned-and-operated station, part of Bell Globemedia. Local programming today is limited primarily to the station's popular newscasts. And, while the station identifies itself only as CTV, many people in southern Saskatchewan still know it as CKTV or CK. ==Local programs== *''Eye on Saskatchewan'' *''The Johnny Sandison Show'' *''Sports Journal'' *''TelePulse'' *''NEWService'' *''Live at Nine'' *''AM Magazine'' ==Slogans== *Turned On Television (1968) *The New View of the Now 2 (1970) *Happiness Is CKCK-TV (1972) *Regina Television...
