CKY-TV (also commonly known as '''CTV Winnipeg''') is a Television Station based in Winnipeg, Manitoba and owned by Bell Globemedia . It is part of the CTV Television Network . CKY was also the call letters of two Winnipeg radio stations. CKY (AM) was founded in 1923 by Manitoba Government Telephones . In 1948 the station was purchased by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation which changed its call letters to CBW. In 1949 the CKY call letters were reassigned to a new AM station in Winnipeg, owned by Moffat Broadcasting Ltd which also founded CJAY television in 1960 and CKY-FM in 1962 . CKY was founded as independent station CJAY on November 12, 1960 , joining CTV upon the network's launch on October 1, 1961 . When CJAY launched, its broadcast day ran from 5:30 PM 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 childrens' features, a weather report, and news. On June 1 , 1973 , the television station was renamed CKY in order to make its call letters consistent with those of Moffat's AM and FM stations making it one of the only two Canadian TV stations with three-letter call signs. In 1992 Moffat sold CKY-AM and CKY-FM (subsequently CITI) to Rogers Communications while maintaining ownership of the television station. In 2001, when Moffat Broadcasting was purchased by Shaw Cablesystems , and because it was not interested in CKY or its sister cable station, WTN , CKY was purchased by Bell Globemedia , while WTN was purchased by Corus Entertainment , moved to Toronto, and became W Network . Now a CTV O&O station, promos on CKY became similar to the other CTV O&O stations. It airs the main CTV schedule at the same time as '' (which was replaced on the CTV schedule outside of Saskatchewan and Manitoba with ''eTalk Daily'') and '' Jeopardy! '' air between 5:00 and 6:00pm. In May 2006 , the station's studios will move to a new facility near Winnipeg's MTS Centre . As of October 3 , 2005, the newscasts on CKY were branded as ''CTV News''.
