  CBC Television Networks
Despite the fact that Canadian television did not exist, by 1950, 30,000 television sets were purchased in Canada, and by the next year, another 40,000 were sold.
The CBC English Television Network, now numbering 46 stations (only 6 of which were CBC-owned) and accessible by 91% of Canadians, celebrated its status as the world's longest television network by broadcasting a July 1 program via microwave from links stretching between Victoria, British Columbia and Sydney, Nova Scotia.
Efforts began to form a network involving these stations and eventually came to fruition when the BBG granted a licence to CTN the Canadian Television Network to be operated by a consortium headed by Spence Caldwell, a failed applicant for the "second " TV licence in Toronto.

 Canadian Television Network
Canadian Television Network Ltd.(CTV), was incorporated in 1961 as Canada's first private television network.
CTV is the most popular Canadian network with over 20% of the English-speaking audience, although this figure has tended to decline in the 1980s.
Its weakness as a network curtailed its ability to produce Canadian content and therefore to meet the expectations of the Broadcasting Act.

 Kirck, Harvey
The fledgling network, only two years old, was determined to challenge the dominance of the established The National (then CBC Television News) offered by the Canadian Broadcast Corporation (CBC).
After a change in the ownership structure of the network, CTV News was moved in 1966 to Toronto, the media hub of English Canada.
It was a mixed blessing for Kirck: he lost his position as news editor to concentrate on the task of presenting the news (though he also continued to participate in the writing of the newscast).

The network has approximately 130 personnel, a level of staffing which, according to Thompson, is far below that required to run even a small regional television station such as CBUT (CBC) in Vancouver, let alone a national television network.
Television networks develop television programs not only with an eye to overall audience numbers but also with a sense of what market segment a particular variant of programming is likely to attract.
This is to say, the network's primary audience commodity would be a young to middle-aged male viewer and that the network's ad revenue performance would be contingent on amassing a male subscription base and viewing rate that was at least representative of male consumers nationally.

 Religion, Television & the Info. Superhwy - Waymark Press - Robert Lewis Shayon
Television, rather than a place of worship, is where an increasing number of people find the expression of a world view which reflects what is of ultimate value to them, and which explains and supports their behavior and way of life.
Television is already ubiquitous and, as such, it presents a terrible pressure towards homogeneity and one fashioned by the culture of the dominant programmers.
WETV is a second Canadian initiative in progress to develop a global television network modeled after the Vision TV network in Canada but with a different set of partners, and with the objective to liberate and to carry globally a wide variety of regional cultural perspectives.
