CFTO-DT, VHF channel 9, is a CTV owned-and-operated television station located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada that serves as the flagship station of the broadcast network. The station is owned by Bell Media, as part of a twinstick with Barrie-based CTV Two owned-and-operated station CKVR-DT (channel 3) and is also sister to 24-hour regional news channel CP24. CFTO maintains studio facilities located at 9 Channel Nine Court in Agincourt (near the junction of Highway 401 and McCowan Road in the suburb of Scarborough), and its transmitter facilities are located atop the CN Tower in downtown Toronto.
The station shares the Agincourt studio complex with CTV's headquarters, which includes studios for the network's news programming (Canada AM, CTV National News and the CTV News Channel), along with most of Bell Media's specialty channels (the area surrounding the studio grounds was temporarily renamed "Dave Devall Way" throughout 2009 to honor the retiring reporter). CTV News has in fact been based at CFTO's studios for most of its history, dating back to the days when the network was a cooperative (CFTO's parent company later acquired most of the other affiliates, eventually becoming the present-day Bell Media).
