Revision as of 10:52, 23 January 2005
Thunder Bay Television is the name under which the two television affiliates in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada operate: CKPR, a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation affiliate, and CHFD, a CTV affiliate. It is what is known as a twinstick station.
As the affiliate of two networks, Thunder Bay Television airs programs from both CBC and CTV on their respective stations. The stations also purchase local rights to some programming aired on Global and CH elsewhere in Canada, as neither of those networks broadcast in Thunder Bay. It also produces and broadcasts local news and current affairs programs and specials.
Dougall Media, the operators of Thunder Bay Television, also own and operate the news website Thunder Bay's Source.
The company has been defensive of its revenue in the past few years. Even though it airs some Global and CH programs, network stations CIII and CHCH can not be recieved either over the air or via cable. It also has no plans to sell the station, following the cutbacks on the news operations of nearby CTV station MCTV.
Its programming practices are also considered weird (although not on the level of CJON), with many CTV programs being aired on CKPR, the CBC station.
