'''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 Telecom Services|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 [[Amplitude modulation|AM]] station in Winnipeg, owned by Moffat Broadcasting Ltd which also founded CJAY television in [[1960]] and CKY-[[Frequency modulation|FM]] in [[1962]].

testing #2.....

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 Moffatt sold CKY-AM and CKY-FM (subsequently [[CITI]]) to [[Rogers Communications]] while maintaining ownership of the television station. In 2001, when Moffat Broadcasting Ltd was purchased by [[Shaw Cablesystems]], and because it was not interested in CKY or its sister cable station, [[W Network|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.

[[Wikipedia:Spam|linkspam]] removed.

CKY was founded as independent station CJAY on November 12, [[1960]], joining CTV upon the network's launch on October 1, [[1961]]. It airs the main CTV schedule at the same time as [[CFTO]] in [[Toronto, Ontario]]. In the summer of [[2005]] the station's studios will move to a new facility near Winnipeg's MTS Centre.

As of [[October 3]], 2005, the newscasts on CKY are branded as ''CTV News''.

Not quite BB Edit is it?

Does this free editing policy not leave information open to be extremely wrong?

So conceivably, I could just ERASE what the last person wrote. How profound! OVerall, the site is a great idea, though. GG/California.
