 CTV Television and CTV Newsnet re news reports (ghettos and concentration camps in Poland)
The President of the CTV News […] in his correspondence with His Excellency Ambassador of the Republic of Poland upheld the news report statement and informed that it was a part of the conscious editorial policy of the CTV News.
However, CTV is one of a number of reputable media outlets that affect the conscious of the Canadian population and the mistakes they make are repeated by other people with fewer resources or integrity.
The CTV News President’s argument was initially that examples such as the Warsaw Ghetto, the Lòdz Ghetto, the Bialystok Ghetto or any of the approximately 365 ghettos established by the Nazis during the Second World War were appropriate and “interchangeable” usages of the “geographical” references that he considered “Polish” or “Italian” ghettos to be.

CTV is a property of a BCE-owned consortium known as Bell Globemedia, which also owns The Globe And Mail as well as Internet service Sympatico-Lycos.
When CTV first came on the air in the fall of 1961 as a network, it was owned by a consortium of Toronto investors, connecting the eight "independent" stations that were originally affiliated with it.
Recently, CTV let its network licence expire, so now it is simply a television service, not an official network, putting it on level pegging with Global.

 Jul 06, 2001 - Submission to CRTC supporting amendment to CTV Newsnet Conditions of Licence [PN CRTC 2001-65]
Five years ago CTV N1 – Headline News applied for a licence to offer a service which was proposed as complementary to, and not competitive with, existing Canadian specialty services.
Had CTV proposed a service competitive with CBC Newsworld, no licence would have been issued, because such a proposal would have been inconsistent with the Commission’s established policies for specialty services.
Should CTV wish to remove the prohibition on long-form programming from Newsnet’s licence, it has the option of doing so "through the front door", using the procedure of applying for an amendment to its conditions of licence, or, alternately, by addressing proposed changes in format on the occasion of its licence renewal.
