CITS-DT, UHF channel 36, is a religious television station located in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, which serves as the flagship station of Yes TV. The station is owned by Crossroads Christian Communications. CITS maintains studio facilities located on North Service Road (adjacent to Highway 403) in Burlington, and its transmitter is located on the CHCH Television Tower at 481 First Road West in Stoney Creek.
On cable, the station is available on Rogers Cable channel 9 and digital channel 235 in the Greater Toronto Area and Cogeco Cable channel 17 in Hamilton. There is a high definition feed offered on Cogeco Cable digital channel 762 in Hamilton. The station also operates rebroadcasters in Ottawa and London, extending the station's coverage to almost all of Southern Ontario.
On December 4, 1996, the CRTC denied Crossroads Christian Communications a licence to operate a religious television station in Burlington. Two years later on April 2, 1998, the company became successful in obtaining a licence for Hamilton, beating out Trinity Television Inc. for the licence. CITS-TV first signed on the air on September 30 of that year, as a religious independent station. It had planned to launch two weeks earlier on September 14, but the sign-on date was pushed back to allow cable providers to make changes to some of their channel designations.
