CICI-TV is the CTV owned-and-operated television station in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. It broadcasts an analogue signal on VHF channel 5 from a transmitter near Huron Street in Sudbury.
Owned by Bell Media, it is the flagship station of the network's CTV Northern Ontario sub-system. CICI produces all of the CTV Northern Ontario stations' local programming, except for some local news inserts in the system's newscast.
The station's studios are located on Frood Road, near Lasalle Boulevard.
The station was launched on October 25, 1953 by Sudbury businessmen George Miller, Jim Cooper and Bill Plaunt. It was the first privately-owned television station to launch in Canada, and only the fourth television station overall after CBC Television's owned and operated stations in Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa. Its original call sign was CKSO-TV. The station was a CBC affiliate, receiving programs by kinescope until a microwave relay system linked the station to Toronto in 1956. The station originally broadcast only from 7 to 11 p.m., but by the end of its first year in operation it was on the air from 3:30 p.m. to midnight.
The station's original owner was CKSO Radio Ltd., which also owned the AM radio station CKSO in the city. It was originally a division of the Sudbury Star, but became a separate radio and television company after the newspaper was sold to Thomson Newspapers in 1955. The company name was changed to Cambrian Broadcasting by 1965.
