History

CKY was founded as independent station CJAY on November 12, 1960, joining CTV upon the network's launch on October 1, 1961. Events 764 - Tibetan troops occupy Chang'an, the capital of the Chinese Tang Dynasty, for fifteen days Year 1960 ( MCMLX) was a Leap year starting on Friday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. Events 331 BC - Alexander the Great defeats Darius III of Persia in the Battle of Gaugamela. Year 1961 ( MCMLXI) was a Common year starting on Sunday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. When CJAY launched, its broadcast day ran from 5:30 p. m. until around midnight daily. Its local newscasts were originally broadcast from 7:15 to 7:30, and 10:30 to 10:55 weeknights. The early newscast was part of a longer program known as "Panorama 7", which ran from 5:30 to 7:30 and consisted of cartoons and other children's features, a weather report, and news.

On June 1, 1973, the station's call sign was changed to CKY-TV to match Moffat's AM and FM stations, making it one of the only two Canadian TV stations, the other being CKX-TV, with three-letter call signs (incidently, as of 2007, both stations are now owned by the same company for the first time ever). Events 193 - Roman Emperor Didius Julianus is Assassinated 987 - Hugh Capet is elected Year 1973 ( MCMLXXIII) was a Common year starting on Monday (link will display full calendar of the 1973 Gregorian calendar. CKX-TV is a Television station in Brandon Manitoba, Canada, affiliated with CBC Television. In 1992 Moffat sold CKY-AM and CKY-FM (subsequently CITI) to Rogers Communications while maintaining ownership of the television station. Rogers Communications Inc (,) is one of Canada's largest communications companies particularly in the field of wireless communications and Cable television, with additional

In August, 1992, General Manager Vaughn Tozer hired Jim Wicks, a Canadian-American broadcaster to be the main anchor and managing editor. Tozer and Wicks re-organized the newsroom and the on-air team to help accomplish their goal. Within three ratings periods, the newscast had climbed from 3rd place to 1st place, replacing CBWT's 24 Hours as the highest-rated newscast in Winnipeg. At one point the newscast was advertised on billboards throughout the city as Wicks at 6. The on-air chemistry between Wicks and Sports Director Steve Vogelsang was unique in broadcasting, adding to the popularity of the program. Although the personalities have since changed on several occasions, the station's newscast has remained Manitoba's #1 newscast, increasing its lead in recent years due in part to the demise of CHMI's newscasts and budget cuts at CBWT. CHMI-TV is a Television station licensed to Portage la Prairie Manitoba, Canada, with most of its operations in Winnipeg. CBWT is a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Television station in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Currently, CKY has a monopoly on local newscasts weekdays at noon and late night weekends.

In 2001, Moffat Broadcasting was purchased by Shaw Cablesystems, which was not interested in CKY or its sister cable station, WTN. Shaw Communications is a Canadian Telecommunications company that provides telephone internet and television services W Network (often referred to only as W) is a Canadian English language Cable television Specialty channel based in Toronto CKY was purchased by CTVglobemedia, while WTN was purchased by Corus Entertainment, moved to Toronto, and became W Network.

Corus Entertainment Inc () is a publicly traded Canadian media and entertainment company W Network (often referred to only as W) is a Canadian English language Cable television Specialty channel based in Toronto Now a CTV owned-and-operated station, promos on CKY became similar to the other CTV O&Os.

As of October 3, 2005, the newscasts on CKY were branded as CTV News. Events 42 BC - First Battle of Philippi: Triumvirs Mark Antony and Octavian fight an indecisive battle with Caesar's Year 2005 ( MMV) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link displays full calendar of the Gregorian calendar.

On May 15, 2006, the station's studios moved to a new facility near Winnipeg's MTS Centre. Events 1252 - Pope Innocent IV issues the Papal bull Ad exstirpanda, which authorizes but also limits the Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. The MTS Centre is an indoor arena at 300 Portage Avenue in downtown Winnipeg, Manitoba, at the former Eaton's site This move was mostly caused by recent retail developments in the area, which includes the Polo Park Shopping Centre, and the likelihood that CKY's studios were bought off by developers who would use the space for additional retail opportunities. Polo Park is Winnipeg 's largest retail and entertainment district The recent demolition of Winnipeg Arena and the possible development of a new football stadium to replace Canad Inns Stadium would have likely placed the broadcasting facility in an awkward position of being surrounded by retail developments, making their property more valuable. Winnipeg Arena was an indoor arena located at 1430 Maroons Road in Winnipeg Manitoba, across the street from Canad Inns Canad Inns Stadium (formerly Winnipeg Stadium) is a Canadian football Stadium located north of Polo Park Shopping Centre in Winnipeg Manitoba

Another likely reason for the move is that CKY had more space than it needed. With WTN, 92 CITI FM, and 102 Clear FM moving to new studios in recent years, plus the reduction of local, in-studio programming on CKY-TV since 1991, a new, although smaller, facility suited CKY-TV's needs. W Network (often referred to only as W) is a Canadian English language Cable television Specialty channel based in Toronto CITI is a Canadian radio station which broadcasts Classic rock at 92 CKY has been the callsign of three radio stations in Winnipeg Manitoba.

In recent years, CKY has allowed studio space to be rented for third-party productions, including the locally produced film Blue State. Blue State is an American romantic comedy film released in 2007 about a disgruntled Democrat, played by actor Breckin Meyer, known for his previous

CKY's new studios uses state-of-the-art technology, and virtually nothing was moved from the old studios to the new facility. The existing news set was moved to CFQC, the CTV affiliate in Saskatoon, and some technical equipment was sent to CTV's Quebec City bureau. CFQC-TV (also commonly known as CTV Saskatoon) is a Canadian television station serving Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Saskatoon is a city located in central Saskatchewan, Canada, on the South Saskatchewan River, with a Quebec City ( French: Ville de Québec, or simply Québec) (kwɨˈbɛk or /keˈbɛk/ is the Capital of the Canadian province
