CBKT-DT, VHF channel 9, is a CBC Television owned-and-operated television station located in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. The station is owned by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, as part of a twinstick with Télévision de Radio-Canada outlet CBKFT-DT (channel 13), which is operated through its Société Radio-Canada arm, CBC Radio One station CBK-AM (540 AM) and CBC Radio 2 station CBK-FM (96.9 FM).
All four outlets share studios at the CBC Regina Broadcast Centre at 2440 Broad Street in Downtown Regina, and its transmitter is located near McDonald Street/Highway 46, just northeast of Regina proper. This station can also be seen on Access Communications channel 4 and Sasktel Max channel 3. On Shaw Direct, the channel is available on 298 (Classic) or 028 (Advanced), and in high definition on channel 022 (Classic) or 522 (Advanced). There is a high definition feed offered on Access Communications digital channel 506 and Sasktel Max channel 303.
CBKT signed on for the first time on December 21, 1962 as CHRE-TV, a semi-satellite of CHAB-TV in Moose Jaw and an affiliate of CTV. CHRE signed on as part of a deal between CHAB-TV and Regina's original station, CKCK-TV, which allowed CTV to come to Saskatchewan for the first time. On the same day CHRE signed on, CKCK-TV opened a rebroadcaster in Moose Jaw. During the latter half of the 1960s, the station generally branded itself as "Channel 9".
