CKCK-DT, virtual channel 2.1 (VHF digital channel 8), is a CTV owned-and-operated television station located in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. The station is owned by Bell Media. CKCK's studios and transmitter are located on Eastgate Drive and Highway 1 East, just east of Regina proper.
This station can also be seen on Access Communications channel 6 and Sasktel Max channel 4. On Shaw Direct, the channel is available on 315 (Classic) or 029 (Advanced), and in high definition on channel 023 (Classic) or 523 (Advanced). There is a high definition feed offered on Access Communications digital channel 510 and Sasktel Max channel 304.
CKCK first signed on the air on July 28, 1954, as the first privately owned television station in Western Canada. It was originally owned by the Sifton family, which also owned the Regina Leader-Post and CKCK radio. It was originally a CBC Television affiliate. Shortly after signing on, it took a secondary affiliation with U.S. broadcast network CBS. In 1962, as part of a deal that allowed CTV to come to Saskatchewan, CKCK opened a rebroadcaster in Moose Jaw. In return, Moose Jaw's original station, CHAB-TV, switched to CTV and opened a semi-satellite in Regina, CHRE-TV.
The station swapped affiliations with CHAB/CHRE and joined CTV when the latter stations were purchased by the CBC. As a result of this deal, CHRE changed its call letters to CBKRT and became the main station; it is now CBKT.
