The station is owned and operated by network parent Bell Media, and maintains studios on Graham Avenue (adjacent to the Canada Life Centre) in Downtown Winnipeg; its transmitter is located near Lord Selkirk Highway/Highway 75 in Ritchot.In January 1960, the Canadian Board of Broadcast Governors (BBG) held public hearings in Winnipeg in response to three applications which had been submitted to operate a commercial television station on channel 7.In 1992, Moffat sold CKY (AM) and CKY-FM (subsequently CITI-FM) to Rogers Media while maintaining ownership of the television station.In recent years, CKY-TV has allowed studio space to be rented for third-party productions, including the locally produced film Blue State.Prior to CTV's purchase of the station in 2001, this shifting of prime time programming normally extended to the 7 ET/6 CT hour on Sundays, in line with the practice of American broadcast networks.The early newscast was part of a longer program known as Panorama 7, which ran from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. and consisted of cartoons and other children's features, a weather report and news.On June 6, 2011, it was announced the longtime CKY-TV personality Sylvia Kuzyk would step down in the fall of 2011, and Colleen Bready was named her replacement.These analog transmitters generate no incremental revenue, attract little to no viewership given the growth of BDU or DTH subscriptions and are costly to maintain, repair or replace.The Commission has determined that broadcasters may elect to shut down transmitters but will lose certain regulatory privileges (distribution on the basic service, the ability to request simultaneous substitution) as noted in Broadcasting Regulatory Policy CRTC 2015–24, Over-the-air transmission of television signals and local programming.
In the Fall of 1973, CKY-TV was using this logo and promotional campaign.
CKY's former logo (2001–2005). As of October 2005, logos with the stations' call signs are no longer used on CTV stations; instead they all use the main CTV logo.
