CBXT-DT, virtual channel 5 (UHF digital channel 42), is a CBC Television owned-and-operated television station located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The station is owned by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, as part of a twinstick with Ici Radio-Canada Télé owned-and-operated station CBXFT-DT (channel 11), through the CBC's Société Radio-Canada arm.
The two stations share studios on 75th Street West at the Edmonton City Centre, across from Winston Churchill Square, in downtown Edmonton; CBXT's transmitter is located in Sherwood Park. This station can also be seen on Shaw Cable channel 4 and in high definition on digital channel 209. On Shaw Direct, the channel is available on 307 (Classic) or 019 (Advanced), and in high definition on channel 012 (Classic) or 512 (Advanced). This station is also available on Bell TV channel 230 and in high definition on channel 1120, and on Telus Optik TV channel 621.
The station first went on the air on October 1, 1961 as Edmonton's second television station; the previous CBC affiliate, CFRN (channel 3), switched to the newly established CTV on the same day. Initially, it was branded as "CBXT 5", or "Channel 5". After being known as "Edmonton/5" in the late 1970s, it became known as "XTV" in 1980. It reverted to the "Edmonton 5" brand in the mid-1980s and then, by 1990, became "CBC Television Edmonton". Its local newscasts were originally known as Metro.
