  Baton Broadcast System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was owned by Baton Broadcasting, and was essentially a sub-system within CTV during the 1990s.
However, Baton's president at the time, Douglas Bassett, contended it was merely a "marketing vehicle" to compete with Global's CIII-TV, a single station which served almost all of Ontario.
In 1994, Baton received a report from a consulting company that suggested, among other things, that a new national brand be created as a "backup" if the company's acquisition spree failed to gain control of CTV.
