From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CKTM-TV is a television station in Trois-Rivières, Quebec, Canada. Owned and operated by Cogeco, it is a private affiliate of the Radio-Canada network. It also operates as a twinstick with the TQS O&O CFKM-TV.
The station first aired on April 15, 1958. Although a privately owned station, CKTM effectively functions as a semi-satellite of CBFT in Montreal due to a lack of non-network sources of programming. The station had been owned directly by Cogeco prior to the latter's majority acquisition of TQS, to which Cogeco contributed its existing local stations. The CBC took editorial control of the station's news programming in 2002, although it currently shares a studio with CFKM.
In September 2007, the CBC announced that it would not renew its affiliation agreement with its three Cogeco-owned affiliates — CKTM, CKTV in Saguenay and CKSH in Sherbrooke — after their current agreement expires in August 2008. An application to directly acquire the stations was filed by the CBC on April 25, 2008, concurrently with Cogeco's proposed sale of TQS to Remstar Corporation.[1]
