CIII-DT , virtual digital channels and UHF 41, are the main stations of the Global Television Network located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. This station is owned by Corus Entertainment. CIII maintains a studio facility located at 81 Barber Greene Road (near Leslie Street) in Toronto's Don Mills district, and its transmitter is located above the CN Tower in downtown Toronto. This station serves most of the population of Ontario through a network of 13 transmitters in most of the southern and central parts of the province. On cable, CIII is available on Rogers Cable channels 3 and 116 and in high definition on 517 digital channels; on satellite, this station is also available on the direct channel channel Shaw Direct 331 and channel 39, and on Bell TV on channel 211 (standard definition) and 1052 (high definition).

Histori
Ken Soble, founder of CHCH-TV (channel 11) in Hamilton, Ontario envisioned the national "superstation" of 96 satellite feed transmitters with CHCH as its flagship. In 1966, he made the first appeal with the Board of Governors of Broadcasting for the network to be branded as NTV - however, the application faced various regulatory hurdles and underwent many revisions over the next few years. Canada Radio-Television and Telecommunications The Commission has finally decided to go ahead with Anik's public satellite system rather than relying on private communications firms to build Canada's satellite broadcasting infrastructure, putting NTV applications in jeopardy after Power Corporation of Canada, the main investor in the plan, backed out.
In 1970, one of Soble's former employees, Al Bruner, teamed up with Peter Hill to revive the app under new ownership. The Bruner and Hill Group, Global Communications, downgraded the original NTV proposal to a network of seven UHF transmitters in Ontario, whose combined footprint will provide at least secondary coverage from Montreal to Detroit, Michigan. Global Communications still aspires to finally build a network of 97 original Soble stations, and view the seven-transmitter Ontario chain as a temporary measure. However, since CHCH is no longer involved in apps, the global iteration of the plan also requires the launch of new stations to serve as its flagship.
The station was first aired on January 6, 1974 as CKGN-TV (prior to being used by stations, CKGN calligns were previously used by stations now owned and operated by CTV CKNY-TV in North Bay, Ontario from 1955 to 1962). It branded itself as the "Global Television Network," a name that reflects the unprecedented coverage of most of southern Ontario from six transmitters (the seventh will reach Montreal denied) fed from a centralized studio. From its launch in 1974 to 2009, the station's primary transmitter was licensed to Paris, a small town near Brantford, but Toronto became the station's main licensed city after an amendment to channel license 41 in 2009. Throughout its history, however, has been based in a converted factory (built 1954 for Barber Greene Canada Limited) in the Don Mills area of ​​North York (since 1998, located in Toronto).
He hopes to be different from CBC and CTV by broadcasting a number of Canadian-made programs. However, three months later, many of these programs were canceled due to deep financial problems. It had made a big mistake by signing in the middle of the 1973-74 television season, and prospective advertisers had no money to spare for a commercial venue. It's barely listed as a blip in the rankings; in Toronto, for example, only draws 2.5 parts, only a fraction of what is drawn by CBC and CTV. Her credit line was revoked, and could not meet the daily fee.
Amid losses of more than a million dollars a month, the network was forced to throw away its ambitious business model just to survive. Instead, it began delivering as many non-Canadian content as allowed (at the time, Canada's content rules required stations to broadcast domestically produced programs for 60% of their schedules, and 50% during prime time), essentially from CTV. The financial difficulties of the station continued until it was rescued by two conglomerates in 1977 - a Toronto-based group led by Paul Morton and a Winnipeg-based group led by Izzy Asper. The Asper Group purchased a controlling stake in 1985. In 1989, the two groups tried to buy each share, and the CRTC ended the contest by allowing Asper and his company, Canwest, to take full ownership.
The station's nickname was changed to CIII-TV in January 1984, in accordance with the 10th anniversary of broadcasting. The Windsor/Cottam transmitter will be the exception for the broadcast broadcaster who was also given CIII calls that month for several years as it continues to be identified in the CRTC document as CKGN-TV-1, possibly due to licensing issues with the nearest broadcaster in the Detroit market (CKGN calls are now used by FM radio station in Kapuskasing, Ontario).
CIII has evolved into a much more Toronto-centric station in recent years. Previously, he hired a number of freelance journalists from all provinces who filed a report for Global News . This, along with extensive provincewide weather coverage, gives the station its distinctive feel of Ontario for many years. By the late 1990s, the focus had shifted almost exclusively to Toronto.
Asper Stations (including CKVU-TV in Vancouver, Saskatchewan CFRE-TV/Regina and CFSK-TV/Saskatoon, CKND-TV stations in Winnipeg and CIHF-TV stations in Halifax/Saint John) formed mini-networks throughout Canada outside Ontario in 1990 known as the Global Canwest System. After Canwest purchased CKMI-TV in Quebec City and founded rebroadcasters in Montreal and Sherbrooke, the Global brand was extended nationally on August 18, 1997, forming Canada's third national television network. Around this time, CIII became internally known as "Global Ontario" but was generally avoided using the on-air name, even after most other Global stations began using regional branding in 2006. The Ontario station began being identified as "Global Toronto" in 2009 , following the previously mentioned licensing amendments, but continue to use only the main Global logo in its bugs outside of news programming, unlike other Global stations.

News operations
CIII-DT currently broadcasts 28 hours of locally produced news releases every week (with five hours on weekdays and 1½ hours on weekends). In addition to its main news department in Toronto, the station also operates a news agency at the National Press Center in Ottawa. CIII does not employ its own entertainment or sporting journalist. Entertainment news coverage provided by Entertainment Tonight Canada and previous sports news content is provided by Sportsnet 360's dedicated sports channel.
Early on, its flagship news program Global News was developed under the guidance of Bill Cunningham, a veteran of CBC News; at first, the news broadcast was anchored by Peter Trueman in Toronto and Peter Desbarats in Ottawa. During the early years of the news department, newscasts were one of CKGN/CIII's most successful and important programs. Trueman has noted in his memoir that the program is innovative: "The combination of our newsroom-studio... serves as a model for the new CHAN-TV facility in Vancouver, and is currently [1979] inspiration for the new Cablenews Ted Turner operation in Atlanta." The CBC also sought inspiration when changing its national news format in the early 1980s. The program also pioneered the use of "regional correspondents", usually print or radio journalists, who would regularly notify stations about the stories on their part in Ontario. This enables global field producers and crew to target the main story today. "This is the main reason that many of the global ex-urban coverage has been very effective", Trueman wrote in 1979.
During the 1980s, Global greatly expanded its news operations, with a 90-minute news block starting at 5:30 pm, as well as news broadcasts at noon and 11:00 noon. In the late 1980s, the afternoon news broadcasts were just titled News at Noon , 5:30 newsletters called First News , the 6:00 news broadcast called The Six O'Clock Report , and 11:00 newscast titled The World Tonight . Trueman left CIII in 1988. Other anchors at the station over the years have included Mike Anscombe, Beverly Thomson, John Dawe, Jane Gilbert, Peter Kent, Loretta Sullivan, Bob McAdorey, Thalia Assuras and Anne-Marie Mediwake.
In accordance with the above-mentioned regional branding avoidance, CIII uses Global News , as opposed to regional names such as Global Ontario News , as its major news brand. However, in the fall of 2009, for news programs, the program began using "Global Toronto", as the major newscasts focused on the city. Individual news releases are given separate titles including News Clock (for afternoon news broadcasts) and Latest News (for news broadcasts 11:00 WIB).
From 1994 to 2001, CIII also produced First National , pinned by Peter Kent and aired at 6:30 am. evening events. In 2001, the program was replaced by Canada Night , which in turn was replaced by Global National , embedded by Kevin Newman; it originated from the CHAN facility in Vancouver before moving to a dedicated studio in Ottawa in February 2008. In January 2009, CIII canceled its morning newscast Morning Global News , along with Noon News Hour , with those previously discontinued due to low ratings and both programs removed due to cost-cutting measures at certain Global stations. From February to August 2009, CIII broadcast live broadcast of former Hamilton CHCH-TV news station Morning Live every workday from 07:00 to 9:00 am. Simulcast CHCH was later revealed after Canwest sold the station to Channel Zero. , with CIII showing a second lifestyle program run in the morning timeslot, as well as last night's Hour News evening broadcast.
On October 11, 2011, CIII-DT launched a three-hour morning news broadcast on a working day entitled The Morning Show , running from 6:00 to 9:00 am, broadcast from a studio store in Shaw Media's Bloor. Street building in Downtown Toronto. The station also moved the evening newscast, Hours News , half an hour earlier until 5:30 am. coinciding with the shift Global National to 6:30 am. slot, join Montreal's CKMI-DT and Halifax CIHF-DT as the only Global station to bring the nationwide news broadcast network in the timeslot.
On August 27, 2012, CIII restored the mid-day newscast to the schedule with the launch of the mid-day newscast for half an hour. Unlike lunchtime news broadcasts conducted at Global twin stations, newscasts air for 30 minutes instead of an hour. The expansion of the CIII news program is part of the benefits package included as a condition for selling the Global Television Network to Shaw Communications.
In May 2015, Shaw did anchor the complete news, producing anchors of the latest news, including revealing the new anchor Night anchor, filled out the remaining vacations after the departure of Leslie Roberts in January 2015.
In June 2016, Global News announced that The Morning Show co-host Liza Fromer would not have his contract renewed after five years with the station. Fromer is the only original host of The Morning Show remaining from the moment the show was launched in 2011. No substitute will be hired to fill his position. Another layoff is with the Global News at Noon Rosey Edeh anchor. No anchor works with the station anymore.
Current local news program
- The Morning Show - aired from 6-9: 30am ET weekdays. The event was hosted by Carolyn Mackenzie, Jeff MacArthur and Liem Vu in a studio in Corus Quay.

Transmitter
A series of re-broadcast transmitters deliver CIII signals to many of Ontario. Most use CIII callback bases followed by numbers to indicate their status as broadcasters, except in Sudbury and North Bay where callign CFGC is assigned. The most likely explanation for using CFGC is that the similarity between my number 1 and letter will make CIII-TV-11 an undesirable call alert for Sudbury, while North Bay can not use CIII-TV-2 because the call mark is already in use Bancroft.
These six transmitters established the original service of 1974:
- CKGN-TV Channel 6 from Paris (serving Hamilton, Brantford, and Kitchener-Waterloo)
- CKGN-TV-1 Channel 22 from Cottam (near Windsor; also serving Detroit, Michigan)
- CKGN-TV-2 Channel 2 from Bancroft (serving Belleville)
- CKGN-TV-6 Channel 6 from Gatineau, Quebec (Camp Fortune site, near Ottawa)
- CKGN-TV-22 Channel 22 from Uxbridge (near Toronto)
- CKGN-TV-29 Channel 29 from Oil Springs (near Sarnia)
The initial plan calls the seventh transmitter, CKGN-TV-36 from Maxville, near Cornwall. It will primarily serve Hawkesbury, but it will also provide a strong enough B-class signal to Montreal. However, Global was forced to drop the Maxville transmitter from its proposal because of the CRTC moratorium on a new station in Montreal.
Cottam transmitters are often empty during the premiere imported series in America; Windsor is considered to be part of the Detroit market for the purpose of programming rights. It also affects CBC stations in Windsor, CBET, which often airs alternative programs (for more information on this, see Media in Windsor, Ontario and Media in Detroit). The transmitter was silent for several years after a transmitter fire in the late 1970s.
In 1986, the CRTC approved the transfer of the Windsor region transmitter from Cottam to Stevenson. Some time after this, the call letter CIII-TV-22 from the now dead Uxbridge transmitter was transferred to the Stevenson transmitter. The transmitter is located in the southwest of Wheatley, between Wheatley and Leamington, but the signal goes northeast (toward Chatham-Kent), and almost reaches Windsor and Detroit - presumably to protect Detroit stations. In the early 1990s, additional transmitters were added to expand Global's footprint in Ontario.
Uxbridge transmitter is the most powerful UHF transmitter in Canada, operating at maximum power allowed at 5 MW. It was closed in 1988, replaced by CIII-TV-41, broadcast from the CN Tower in Toronto. For all intents and purposes, given that the station is always based in Toronto, this is CIII's mainstream transmitter and Global flagship even before the station officially moved its license to Toronto in 2009. It also happens to Uxbridge transmitters. Beginning in 2008, CIII began sending signals to the first Toronto transmitter, as Paris transmitters do not yet have digital capabilities.
Other transmitters are gradually introduced, including (launch date in brackets):
- CIII-TV-7 Channel 7 from Midland (November 1987, serving Barrie)
- CIII-TV-4 Channel 4 from Owen Sound (June 1988)
- CIII-TV-27 Channel 27 from Peterborough (October 1988)
- CFGC-TV 11 Channel from Sudbury (December 1992)
- CFGC-TV-2 Channel 2 from North Bay (December 1992)
- CIII-TV-13 Channel 13 from Timmins (December 1992)
- CIII-TV-12 Channel 12 from Sault Ste. Marie (December 1992)
- CIII-TV-55 Channel 55 from Fort Erie (early 1993, serving Niagara Falls and the South Niagara Area; signals also reached Buffalo, New York)
CIII is not available in Thunder Bay but the market is served by a privately owned CHFD-DT affiliate, owned by Dougall Media. The owner of CHFD, the Dougall family, worries about Global threatening their local television monopoly (Dougall Media controls all local television network output for the Thunder Bay region and previously lobbied CRTCs to stop the transmission of CHCH-TV cables in the mid-1990s) and pressed the CRTC to deny applications Global to build the transmitter there. However, in 2009, Dougall Media transferred CHFD affiliates from CTV to Global. As a result, the Global branded program is available in Thunder Bay, not only through a network of repeaters in CIII province. Similarly, in Kenora, CTV's former affiliate, CJBN-TV (owned by Shaw), switched to full-time Global programming at the end of 2011 (the station will stop operating in January 2017).
Early attempts to include Peterborough and Kingston from Bancroft transmitters have produced poor and marginal results; this signal has since been largely superseded (only for Peterborough) by the more powerful CIII-TV-27. However, CIII-TV-2 continues to serve the residents of Addington Highlands Township.
CIII-TV-41, along with CHCH in Hamilton and CHAN-TV in Vancouver began broadcasting high-definition over-the-air in 2008.

CIII-TV-41 in Toronto began broadcasting its digital signals in July 2009. The station's analog signal, via UHF 41 channel, closes on August 31, 2011, the official date on which the Canadian television station on the CRTC market is diverted from analog to digital broadcast. The CIII digital signal is relocated from the pre-transition UHF channel 65, since the original digital channel is between the high band UHF channel 52-69 removed from the use of broadcasting as a result of the transition, to the UHF channel 41.
Global also diverted CIII-TV in Paris, CIII-TV-6 in Ottawa and CIII-TV-7 in Midland (serving Barrie) to digital on August 31, 2011. CIII-TV-22 at Stevenson (serving Windsor and Chatham) was converted to digital on August 8, 2011. The transmitter operates at reduced power and its coverage has been reduced. CIII-TV-55 at Fort Erie vacated its channel frequency on August 31, 2011, when Global decided to turn off the transmitter. Coverage to areas in Canada served by Fort Erie transmitter is provided by CIII-DT-41. The global plan to transmit the remaining transmitters to digital by 2016, although all CIII-DT transmitters except Bancroft transmitters will be converted to digital by February 2013.
Shortly after the 2011 digital transition, an additional digital sub-channel (41.2) was launched, carrying the CIII-DT standard definition feed, which fully duplicates the existing programs in 41.1. However (unlike other Toronto area stations), this SD feed is not just a sheet or snippet version of an HD feed, but has different placements for promotional graphics and separate screen bugs (no "HD" annotations). It is therefore possible that the SD feeds need air broadcasting to continue transporting these particular feeds to cable and satellite providers (however, it also serves as a benefit for some over-the-air viewers with 4: 3 television sets and digital converters, to the extent allowing viewers to avoid the older 4: 3 programs that appear both with pillarboxed and mailboxes.
On April 10, 2012, Shaw Media filed permission to change the CIII-DT-6 allocation of the VHF 6 channel to channel UHF 14, switching from circular polarization to ellipse, citing the noise of VHF-Low band impulses (compared to VHF-High and UHF bands ) causes reception problems, most of which will be resolved with higher frequencies. Electricity will increase substantially, from 3.3 kW, to 145 kW. The application states that it may be short-haul for Buffalo, WUTV New York, and Plattsburgh, WPTZ New York, both of which may experience (and cause) some co-channel interference on the outskirts of the CIII-DT-6 service area. This app is approved by CRTC on July 4, 2012. CIII-DT-6 officially moved to channel 14 in mid-August 2013.
Shaw Media has begun filing permission to convert its broadcast in North Ontario to digital, with CFGC-TV (channel 11) in Sudbury and CFGC-TV-2 (channel 2) in North Bay on June 14, and CIII-TV-12 (channel 12) in Sault Ste. Marie on June 22nd. Applications for CIII-TV-12 include switching its digital allocation from VHF 7 channel to UHF 15 channel, to improve signal quality and slightly increase population coverage. The application for CFGC-DT-2 requested UHF 15 usage instead of UHF 32 channel, because CHCH-TV-6 currently uses that frequency. Digital channel for CFGC-TV not yet requested. All three transmitters must be fed via satellite.
After the closure of the Radio-Canada replicater in Kitchener (CBLFT-TV-8), which has been allocated 17 UHF channels, Shaw has submitted an application on October 10, 2012 to move the CIII-DT digital transmitter in Paris from VHF channel 6 to channel 17 UHF increase its coverage to the Kitchener area. The technical parameters included in the change will increase the strength and slightly decrease in height (4 kW at 311.3 meters on the VHF 6 channel, compared to 165 kW (average 97 kW) at 272 meters on the UHF channel 17). The UHF signal will have slightly smaller broadcast coverage, but Shaw has acknowledged that the marginal areas will still be able to receive Global programs through CIII-DT-29, CIII-DT-41 and CIII-TV-4. This app is approved by CRTC on January 22, 2013. CIII-DT-27 can be seen almost all day from Rochester, New York on channel 27.1.
In 2018, Bancroft via an air transmitter, CIII-TV-2 (on VHF 2 channel), still operates as an NTSC analog signal. CIII-TV-2 may be one of the last through an air analogue transmitter for global re-broadcast in Ontario. The analog OTA transmitters are scheduled to be replaced with digital transmitters by the end of 2020. Transmitters have a designation for DTV on VHF 11 channels.
