Editing CTV Television Network (section)

== CTV stations ==

=== CTV owned-and-operated stations ===
As of mid-October 2005, all CTV-owned and operated stations have adopted a single on-air brand of "CTV", rather than use their official callsigns or channel numbers on-air (although some stations, most notably [[CIVT-DT|CIVT]], promote their cable channel number). When further differentiation is needed, for example during regional programming, the city or region they serve (for example, "CTV Ottawa" or "CTV British Columbia") may be used as well. Under CRTC regulations, however, the callsign is still the station's legal name.

=== Regional affiliates ===
As CTV does not presently operate as a ''[[de jure]]'' television network using a CRTC-issued network license, these stations acquire CTV programming from Bell Media by way of program supply agreements, not [[network affiliate|network affiliation]] agreements.<ref name="crtc-corus">{{cite web|url=http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2015/2015-403.htm|title=Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2015-403|author=Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission|author-link=Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission|date=August 27, 2015|access-date=August 31, 2015}}</ref> Although they currently carry the vast majority of CTV programs and generally use a similar schedule to CTV-owned stations, the stations retain all advertising inventory, and have final authority over carriage and scheduling of CTV programming.<ref name="crtc-corus" />

=== Special cases ===
* [[St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador|St. John's]], Newfoundland and Labrador – [[CJON-DT]] (NTV): disaffiliated with CTV in 2002, but still carries CTV's newscasts and specials.

===Other CTV-branded channels===
<!-- A/CTV Two is not officially considered a network. -->
[[File:CTV 2 2018.svg|150px|right|CTV Two]]
In addition to [[CTV News Channel (Canadian TV channel)|CTV News Channel]], several other spin-offs have been launched under the CTV branding. 
Former specialty channels that have used the CTV brand (and formerly had ownership stakes by the parent company) include [[CTV Sportsnet]] (now Sportsnet) and [[CTV Travel]] (now T+E) and [[Discovery Canada]] (now owned by Rogers).

Following the 2007 acquisition of [[CTV 2|A-Channel]] by CTVglobemedia as part of the takeover of CHUM Limited, media analysts had speculated that CTV may potentially extend its market-leading CTV brand to that television network.{{citation needed|date=May 2020}} Bell officially announced on May 30, 2011, that the A-Channel television network would be rebranded as "CTV Two", a change that took effect on August 29, 2011. CTV Two currently consists of four over-the-air O&Os in [[Ontario]] and three in [[British Columbia]], as well as regional cable-only channels in [[Atlantic Canada]] and [[Alberta]], providing complementary programming which have smaller audiences than those on the mainline CTV network.

In June 2018, Bell Media announced plans to rename four of its existing specialty channels under the CTV branding.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/television/2018/06/07/ctv-unveils-their-fall-programming-slate-for-2018.html|title=Magnum P.I. reboot, new Jann Arden comedy on CTV's fall lineup|work=Toronto Star|access-date=June 7, 2018|language=en}}</ref> The original Bravo, The Comedy Network, Gusto, and Space were respectively relaunched as [[CTV Drama Channel]], [[CTV Comedy Channel]], [[CTV Life Channel]], and [[CTV Sci-Fi Channel]] on September 12, 2019.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/bolstered-by-new-acquisitions-new-ctv-suite-of-specialty-channels-to-be-unveiled-sept-12-803447574.html|title=Bolstered by New Acquisitions, New CTV Suite of Specialty Channels to Be Unveiled Sept. 12

Their programming would primarily be drawn from an agreement with [[Sony Pictures Television]]; Sony's video service [[Crackle (service)|Crackle]] would exit Canada on June 28, 2018, with its content being assumed by the two services.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://mobilesyrup.com/2018/06/07/bell-rebrand-ctv-vod-services/|title=Bell Media announces new VOD services, CTV 'digital super-hub'

It was also announced that content from CTV, its four genre channels, as well as CTV Movies and CTV Throwback, would be eventually accessible within a unified "super-hub" for streaming video platforms.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://calgaryherald.com/entertainment/jann+arden+star+comedy+series/17505724/story.html|title=Jann Arden to play a fictionalized version of herself in CTV comedy series|work=The Canadian Press (via Calgary Herald)|first=Victoria|last=Ahearn|date=June 7, 2018|access-date=June 7, 2018}}{{Dead link|date=July 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://cartt.ca/article/ctv-launch-two-free-vod-services|title=CTV to launch two free VoD services|website=Cartt.ca|access-date=December 7, 2018}}{{Dead link|date=July 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> The new CTV app was released in July 2020, subsuming the [[TV Everywhere]] apps for the aforementioned channels.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-07-15 |title=CTV app for iOS and Android now offers more live and on-demand channels |url=https://mobilesyrup.com/2020/07/15/ctv-app-ios-android-on-demand-channels/ |access-date=2022-04-14 |website=MobileSyrup |language=en}}</ref> It would also subsume the streaming apps for most other Bell Media networks.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-04-06 |title=CTV app now available on Roku streaming devices and TVs |url=https://mobilesyrup.com/2022/04/06/ctv-app-roku-streaming-devices-tvs/ |access-date=2022-04-14 |website=MobileSyrup |language=en}}</ref>

In October 2024, due to the end of Bell Media's licensing agreement with [[Warner Bros. Discovery]] for its factual networks, it was announced that [[Animal Planet (Canadian TV channel)|Animal Planet]], [[Discovery Science (Canadian TV channel)|Discovery Science]], and [[Discovery Velocity]] would be relaunched as CTV Wild Channel, CTV Nature Channel, and CTV Speed Channel respectively on January 1, 2025.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |last=Thiessen |first=Connie |date=2024-10-17 |title=Bell to bring USA Network, Oxygen True Crime to Canada |url=https://broadcastdialogue.com/bell-to-bring-usa-network-oxygen-true-crime-to-canada/ |access-date=2024-10-17 |website=Broadcast Dialogue |language=en-US}}</ref>
