Chicagoland Television (branded on-air as CLTV) is an American regional cable news television channel located in Chicago, Illinois. The channel currently serves the Chicago metropolitan area, with additional availability in the nearby Rockford and South Bend, Indiana markets. The channel, which is exclusive to Comcast Xfinity and RCN customers, broadcasts news programming 24 hours a day, with the exception of some locally produced non-news programs and special programming.
The channel has been owned by Tribune Media (through its Tribune Broadcasting subsidiary) since its debut; it is one of three flagship media properties owned by the company, alongside radio station WGN (720 AM) and CLTV's news partners, independent station WGN-TV (channel 9). The Chicago Tribune, owned by tronc (the former Tribune Publishing) since Tribune's publishing assets were spun-off in summer 2014, continues to contribute some CLTV content. Chicagoland Television operates from the studios of WGN-TV on Bradley Place in Chicago's North Center neighborhood.
The channel began operations on January 1, 1993, originally broadcasting out of studios located in the Chicago suburb of Oak Brook. On February 4, 2009, the Tribune Company announced that it would combine CLTV's operations with the company's flagship television station WGN-TV, though CLTV would continue to operate as a standalone cable news channel. As a result of the integration of the channel's operations, CLTV relocated from its Oak Brook studio to WGN's Bradley Place studios on the northwest side of Chicago. The move became official on August 28, 2009, when editorial control of the cable channel was also turned over to WGN-TV's news department.
