CKCO-DT, virtual and VHF digital channel 13, is a CTV owned-and-operated television station located in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. The station is owned by Bell Media. CKCO maintains studio facilities located at 864 King Street West in Kitchener and is transmitted from Baden Tower located between Snyders Road East and Highway 7 in Baden, just west of the Kitchener city limits. The station is available on Rogers Cable channels 12 and 109, and in high definition on digital channel 518; Shaw Direct channels 67 (on the advanced lineup) and 369 (on the classic lineup); Bell TV channel 584; and Bell Fibe TV channel 201 and in HD on channel 1201.
With Global station CIII-TV having moved its city of license from the Brantford suburb of Paris to Toronto in 2009, Kitchener is now served by two television stations outside of those that serve as rebroadcast transmitters of other Ontario television stations – in addition to CKCO, it is served by independent station CHCH-DT in Hamilton, because of Kitchener being closer to Hamilton in terms of distance.
