You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.157.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 20:44, 23 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''CITV-DT''' (channel 13) is a [[television station]] in [[Edmonton|Edmonton, Alberta]], Canada, part of the [[Global Television Network]]. The station is [[owned-and-operated station|owned and operated]] by network parent [[Corus Entertainment]], and maintains studios on Allard Way Northwest in the [[Pleasantview, Edmonton|Pleasantview neighbourhood]] of Edmonton. Its transmitter is located just off of [[Alberta Highway 21|Highway 21]], southeast of the city. CITV-DT carries the full Global network schedule, and its programming is similar to [[sister station]] [[CICT-DT]] in [[Calgary]].

==History==
((Expand section|further information on CITV-DT's history|date=September 2011))
[[File:ITV Logo Old.jpg|thumb|left|150px|First logo used while as ''ITV'', used during the 1980s.]]
The station first signed on the air on September 1, 1974. CITV was originally owned by [[Allarcom]], owned by Dr. [[Charles Allard]], and launched under the brand "Independent Television" (ITV). Allard's proposal won out over three competing applicants for a second commercial station in Edmonton because it emphasized local programming.<ref name="Edmo740830">((Cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/63354951/for-citv-sunday-its-lights-camera/|date=August 30, 1974|page=3|first=Brian|last=Butters|title=For CITV: Sunday, it's lights, camera, ACTION!|newspaper=Edmonton Journal|location=Edmonton, Alberta, Canada|via=Newspapers.com|access-date=November 24, 2021))</ref><!-- Fri -->

[[File:CITV 1990.PNG|thumb|100px|right|''ITV'' logo used from 1990s until 2000 when CITV joined Global. For logos used as Global, please refer to the [[Global Television Network]] article.]]
In 1981, CITV became a national [[superstation]], being offered on most cable television systems across the country through the [[Canadian Satellite Communications|Cancom]] (now [[Shaw Broadcast Services]]) service for Canadian cable television providers too distant to receive most over-the-air television signals. It continues to be carried on satellite television nationwide through Bell Satellite TV and Shaw Direct, as well as on several other cable systems across Canada outside Alberta, including in all of [[Newfoundland and Labrador]] and some areas of [[Nova Scotia]], [[New Brunswick]], [[Saskatchewan]], [[British Columbia]] and the [[Yukon]].

From 1980 to 1982, the station's studios were used for taping episodes of the Canadian sketch comedy ''[[Second City Television|SCTV]]''; since the station itself was the focus of the storylines, CITV's lobby and control room were often used for SCTV scenes. (The show had previously taped in Toronto at [[CIII-DT|CIII-TV]], Global's flagship station, somewhat ironically.) CITV's booth announcer, Robert Corness, also announced for ''SCTV'', including later syndicated reruns distributed by Allarcom and WIC.<ref>((Cite web |title=Voice123 ((!)) World's 1st voice over marketplace |url=https://voice123.com/voice-actor/robertcorness |access-date=2023-09-28 |website=Voice123 |language=en))</ref>

In 1987, the station launched a semi-satellite in [[Red Deer, Alberta]], as part of a joint venture with Monarch Broadcasting (the owners of CKRD-TV). CITV-TV-1, VHF channel 10, broadcast ITV's program schedule, with separate commercials for Red Deer and Central Alberta. The rebroadcaster, along with CKRD-TV, was purchased by Allarcom in 1989.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.broadcasting-history.ca/listing_and_histories/television/citv-dt|title = CITV-DT &#124; History of Canadian Broadcasting))</ref> Some programs produced at CKRD-TV's studios were later added to CITV-TV-1's schedule for Central Alberta viewers, such as the noon-hour program ''ITV Express'', and the ''RDTV News Crew'' at 5:30&nbsp;p.m.

In February 1991, Allarcom's broadcast and cable assets, including CITV-TV, were purchased by WIC Western International Communications.

In July 2000, the CRTC approved the purchase of WIC's broadcast television assets, including CITV-TV, by [[Canwest]]. CITV officially joined the Canwest-owned [[Global Television Network]] on September 4, 2000, along with fellow Alberta stations CICT in Calgary, [[CISA-DT|CISA-TV]] in [[Lethbridge]], and CKRD-TV Red Deer. The former WIC stations in Edmonton, Calgary, and Lethbridge had already carried Global's programming, alongside WIC-sourced programming, since 1988.

The CRTC approved Canwest's application to launch a transitional digital television transmitter, CITV-DT, on March 5, 2009. The transmitter launched on June 29, 2009 on UHF channel 47 (PSIP 13.1).<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.broadcasting-history.ca/listing_and_histories/television/citv-dt|title = CITV-DT &#124; History of Canadian Broadcasting))</ref>

CITV-TV-1 was converted to a rebroadcaster of CITV-TV/DT in August 2009, relaying Global Edmonton's program schedule and commercials without any variations; this coincided with the closure of [[CHCA-TV]] by Canwest.

On October 27, 2010, Canwest Global's television assets, including CITV, were purchased by Shaw Communications.<ref>((Cite news|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/cbusiness-us-canwest-shaw-idCATRE69L5C520101022|title = Shaw Comms gets regulator's OK to buy Canwest TV|newspaper = Reuters|date = 22 October 2010))</ref> On August 22, 2011, the station completed its transition from analog to digital by moving CITV-DT from UHF channel 47 to VHF channel 13 and increasing its effective radiated power (its virtual channel remains at 13.1).<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.broadcasting-history.ca/listing_and_histories/television/citv-dt|title = CITV-DT &#124; History of Canadian Broadcasting))</ref>

Corus Entertainment completed its purchase of Shaw Media, including CITV Edmonton, on April 1, 2016.<ref>((Cite web |url=https://www.corusent.com/news/corus-entertainment-to-acquire-shaw-media-in-transformational-acquisition-2/ |title=Corus Entertainment to Acquire Shaw Media in Transformational Acquisition - Corus Entertainment |access-date=2021-11-06 |archive-date=2021-11-06 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211106001656/https://www.corusent.com/news/corus-entertainment-to-acquire-shaw-media-in-transformational-acquisition-2/ |url-status=dead ))</ref>

==News operation==
CITV presently broadcasts 45 hours of locally produced newscasts each week (with seven hours each weekday and five hours each on Saturdays and Sundays). It currently airs the highest number of local newscast broadcast hours of any English-language television station in the Edmonton market.

The station was the first in the Edmonton market to have a news helicopter. The helicopter, called "Global 1", is shared with radio station [[CHED (AM)|CHED]] for their traffic reports during the ''Morning News'' and the ''Early News''. The helicopter is also used frequently for breaking news coverage.

On November 15, 2010, CITV became the first television station in Alberta to begin broadcasting its locally produced programming in [[high-definition television|high definition]]. On September 10, 2011, CITV-DT expanded its Saturday morning newscast to three hours. The following day, on September 11, the station debuted a two-hour Sunday morning newscast.<ref>((cite web |url=http://newswire.ca/en/releases/archive/May2011/31/c9068.html |title=News - Media &#124; Global News Redefines Morning Television in Toronto with the Morning Show Featuring the Return of Liza Fromer |access-date=2011-06-01 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110702093852/http://www.newswire.ca/en/releases/archive/May2011/31/c9068.html |archive-date=2011-07-02 ))</ref><ref>((Cite web |url=http://www.broadcastermagazine.com/news/global-edmonton-expands-morning-news-coverage/1000570623/ |title=Global Edmonton Expands Morning News Coverage |access-date=2011-09-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120319223711/http://www.broadcastermagazine.com/news/global-edmonton-expands-morning-news-coverage/1000570623/ |archive-date=2012-03-19 |url-status=dead ))</ref>

On August 27, 2012, CITV-DT expanded its weekday morning newscast to four hours, with the addition of a half-hour; in addition on September 2, 2012, the station expanded its Sunday morning newscast to three hours with an additional hour. The expansions to CITV's morning news programming was part of a benefits package that was included as a condition of the sale of the Global Television Network to Shaw Communications.<ref>[http://www.broadcastermagazine.com/news/global-news-boosts-local-programming-across-the-country/1001418952/ Global News Boosts Local Programming Across the Country] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140107031528/http://www.broadcastermagazine.com/news/global-news-boosts-local-programming-across-the-country/1001418952/ |date=2014-01-07 )), ''Broadcaster Magazine'', May 30, 2012.</ref>

CITV is one of the few stations in the Global Television Network where all of its local news programming originates from its own studios and production facilities.
