Canadian Communications Foundation - Fondation Des Communications Canadiennes On October 15 the CRTC approved the application by CHUM Limited for authority to acquire effective control of CKVU Sub Inc. As CHUM already operated CIVI-TV Victoria, conditions for dual ownership in the market were specified, including separate management of news and no more than 10% of programming overlap between their two stations. On July 6 the CRTC issued a directive to CanWest Television Inc. to divest itself of ownership of CKVU-TV and its Courtenay retransmitter CKVU-TV-1 as part of the Commission's approval of CanWest Television Inc. to acquire CHAN-TV Vancouver and CHEK-TV Victoria. The station branding changed from Global to ckvu13, with "13" designating the cable position in southwestern B.C. One of CKVU-TV's most popular local programs, "Sports Page", aired nightly at 11, moved over to CHEK-TV Victoria as part of the ownership change. www.broadcasting-history.ca /listings_and_histories/television/histories.php?id=60&historyID=57   (860 words)

Decision CRTC 2001-262 As a result of this denial, the shares of CKVU are to remain under the current Trust Agreement (approved by letter of authority A00-0152 dated 21 December 2000) in the context of CanWest Global’s acquisition of CHAN-TV Vancouver and CHEK-TV Victoria. Request to create new trust arrangement for the shares of CKVU Sub Inc. - Licensee of CKVU-TV – Vancouver The Commission understands that this would have allowed the parties, CanWest Television Inc. and Global Television Network Inc. on one hand, and CHUM Limited on the other hand, to complete the sale of the shares in CKVU Sub Inc.

FEATURES Thunderbird Magazine The transformation of Vancouver television station CKVU into the highly stylized CITY-TV this past July came with the promise of greater attention to the lower mainland’s multicultural community. It is an intention borne of good intentions, but has left some critics wondering if CITY-TV’s apporach could do more harm.

tv vancouver While CKVU's sale to CHUM was still pending the approval of the CRTC, it was announced in August that the station's new name, effective September 1st, would be "ckvu13," showing CHUM sticking to its promise of not renaming the station into anything suggesting such ownership. And with the new name announced, CKVU started running a promo, telling viewers that most of the station's on-air news personalities would remain where they are, and urging viewers to stay with the station's newscasts. However, that report was later deemed inaccurate, as it was announced in April that CKVU was sold to CHUM at approximately CDN $125 million. hinto.tripod.com /newswatch/yvr-tv/crossover-hype.html   (1375 words)

tv vancouver: crossover television CKVU's switch to "ckvu13" was one of the headlines on the station's last newscast as Global. From the looks of it, the program's still produced at the CKVU studios, as it still uses the old set. And I think I saw the overhead lights being labelled "CKVU." The show's still using the old graphics, only with a "CH" logo displayed at the end copyright full-screen. hintomedia.tripod.com /newswatch/yvr-tv/crossover-chron.html   (1566 words)

tv vancouver: sights and sound: CKVU-TV CKVU, however, had other ideas, as it also planned to unveil a new presenter lineup for its newscasts, causing its makeover to be pushed back to August 15 to coincide with the debut of the new anchor teams. CKVU introduced a new style of idents in late 2004. The idents still basically consists of an announcer voicing over some video footages shot around the city, but toward the end, the screen zooms out to reveal a mosaic of different images forming the "Citytv" logo. www.geocities.com /ckvutvvancouver3/ss-ckvu3.html   (431 words)

tv vancouver: station overview CanWest bought BCTV and CHEK in 2000, and was forced to sell CKVU. CKVU signed on air in 1976 on UHF channel 21 as Vancouver's second commercial station.

CKVU Vancouver The station has used on-air brands of CKVU 13, VU-13, CKVU, U.TV, and Global, then when the station started airing a Citytv schedule, it returned to the brand of ckvu13, before adopting its current brand of Citytv. CKVU's news operation has been renamed "CityPulse", matching the name and style of Citytv Toronto's news operation. CKVU went on the air for the first time on September 1, 1976. members.shaw.ca /nelsonmedia/Other/CKVU.htm   (357 words)

tv vancouver: sights and sound: CKVU-TV And apparently, enough viewers were wondering whether or not CKVU still had ties with CanWest (or the station was so concerned about its reputation) that this Dave Gerry segment was aired, proclaiming that such ties no longer existed, while reiterating that the station will become Citytv. Since Spring 2003, CKVU has started airing a short open in lieu of a full-length open (although, putting it in perspective, the station really just reverted to the old ways of the "Global News"/"ckvu News" era). At the end of the promo Moses and the rest of the party raised their glasses (and bottles of beer, it looks like) for Citytv. www.geocities.com /ckvutvvancouver2/ss-ckvu2.html   (931 words)

tv vancouver: news center yvr CKVU had announced that its late news would move from 11:30pm to 11pm next Monday. Gone are the wire-frame globes left over from the Global News era, and in came a brighter, more colourful set of graphics, from the news open to the lower-third name graphics.

They Killed TV's Fun Couple Thus it made perfect sense when CHUM's takeover of CKVU was launched with two new faces-the new Breakfast TV team of Eckford and Forbes, freshly poached from cable. Znaimer often groused that other outlets had stolen their concepts over the years, a charge that was specifically leveled at the new CTV station after its debut.
