CITV-DT, VHF channel 13, is a Global owned-and-operated television station located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The station is owned by Corus Entertainment. CITV's studios are located on Allard Way Northwest in the Pleasantview neighbourhood of Edmonton, and its transmitter is located just off of Highway 21, southeast of the city. The station carries the full Global network schedule, and its programming is similar to Global owned-and-operated sister station CICT-TV in Calgary. CITV's master control is also based out of CICT, along with the remainder of Shaw's television stations.
This station can also be seen on Shaw Cable (corporate sister through parent company Shaw Communications) channel 8, Bell TV channel 240. On Shaw Direct, the channel is available on 339 (Classic) or 021 (Advanced), and in high definition on channel 011 (Classic) or 511 (Advanced). There is also a high definition feed available on Shaw Cable digital channel 211 and Telus Optik TV channel 104 (HD) and channel 9104 (SD)
The station first signed on the air on September 1, 1974. CITV was originally owned by Allarcom, owned by Dr. Charles Allard, and launched under the brand "Independent Television" (ITV), a brand that the station used until 2000, when it became part of the Global Television Network. In 1991, Allarcom was purchased by Western International Communications' WIC Television division, which in turn was purchased by Canwest Global Communications in 1999. CITV joined the Global Television Network on September 4, 2000, along with fellow Alberta stations CICT in Calgary and CISA in Lethbridge, but CICT had been carrying Global's programming since 1988.
