CJCB-TV is the CTV owned-and-operated television station in Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada. It broadcasts an NTSC analogue signal on VHF channel 4 from a transmitter located in the Cameron Estates neighborhood on Mira Road in Sydney. On August 1, 2012, it became the only terrestrial broadcaster in the market, as the CBC-TV repeater station, CBIT-TV, was closed the previous evening.
Owned by Bell Media, it is part of the CTV Atlantic regional system in the Maritimes and its studios are located on George Street/Trunk 22 in Sydney. This station can also be seen on Eastlink TV channel 8 and Bell Aliant FibreOP TV channel 6. It carries the same programming as sister station CJCH-DT in Halifax at all times, except for some commercials and an annual telethon.
CJCB-TV was the first television station to broadcast in Nova Scotia, when it signed on for the first time on October 9, 1954. It was originally a CBC affiliate. It joined the CBC's national microwave network in 1958, linking all stations between it and British Columbia. Prior to the microwave connection, programming was either from live local studio productions or kinescope 16mm film copies of CBC network shows. The station fully converted to NTSC colour production in 1975, though it was able to transmit colour programming originated through the network starting in October 1966. It continues to broadcast an NTSC analogue terrestrial over-the-air signal, and does not currently have digital ATSC HDTV capabilities.
