CKTV-DT is the Ici Radio-Canada Télé owned-and-operated television station in the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region of the Canadian province of Quebec that is licensed to Saguenay. It broadcasts a high-definition digital signal on VHF channel 12 from a transmitter atop Mount Valin.
Owned by the Société Radio-Canada of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, its studios are located at 500 Rue des Saguenéens in Chicoutimi. This station can also be seen on Vidéotron channel 2 and in high definition on digital channel 602.
The station first aired on December 1, 1955 as CKRS-TV. It was originally owned by Radio Saguenay along with CKRS radio. It joined Radio-Canada's microwave network on October 28, 1957.
Radio Saguenay sold off its radio station in 1981, but kept CKRS-TV until selling it to Cogeco on November 24, 1998. Cogeco adopted the current callsign the following year, on March 26, 1999. Shortly thereafter, Cogeco acquired control of TQS, to which Cogeco contributed its existing local stations. Radio-Canada took editorial control of the station's news programming in 2002.
In September 2007, Radio-Canada announced that it would not renew its affiliation agreement with its three Cogeco-owned affiliates — CKTV, CKTM in Trois-Rivières and CKSH in Sherbrooke — after their then-current agreement expired in August 2008. An application to directly acquire the stations was filed by Radio-Canada on April 25, 2008, concurrently with Cogeco's proposed sale of TQS to Remstar Corporation. The transaction was approved by the CRTC on June 26, 2008.
