CKY-DT, VHF channel 7, is a CTV owned-and-operated television station located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The station is owned by Bell Media. CKY's studios are located on Graham Avenue (adjacent to the MTS Centre) in Downtown Winnipeg, and its transmitter is located near Lord Selkirk Highway/Highway 75 in Ritchot. On Shaw Direct, the channel is available on 316 (Classic) or 033 (Advanced), and in high definition on channel 029 (Classic) or 529 (Advanced). This station can also be seen on Shaw Cable and MTS TV channel 5. There is a high definition feed offered on Shaw Cable digital channel 210 and MTS TV channel 453 and 1005. Several pay-TV providers in the Grand Forks, North Dakota and Fargo–Moorhead markets to the south in the United States also carry CKY-DT on their systems, in addition to carriage of the CBC's CBWT-DT.
CKY was also the call sign of two Winnipeg radio stations. CKY (AM) was founded in 1923 by Manitoba Government Telephones. In 1948, the station was purchased by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation which changed its call letters to CBW. In 1949, the CKY call letters were reassigned to a new AM station in Winnipeg, owned by Moffat Broadcasting Ltd., which also founded CJAY-TV in 1960 and CKY-FM in 1962.
