This article is about CITV, the Canadian television station. For other uses, see CITV (disambiguation).

CITV-TV is a Canadian television station, licensed to, and serving Edmonton, Alberta. It is owned by CanWest Global Communications, and is one of its Global Television Network stations. It is branded as "Global Edmonton". It transmits on channel 13 and cable 8 in Edmonton, and is carried on the Bell ExpressVu (channel 240) and Star Choice (channel 339) DBS services. Global Edmonton is the first television station in Edmonton to have a helicopter, which greatly enhances the station's news coverage. The helicopter, called Global 1, is shared with CHED (AM) for their traffic reports during the Morning News (5:30 am to 9:00 am) and the Early News (5:00 pm to 5:50 pm). The Chopper is also used frequently for breaking news coverage.

Over-the-air Transmitters:

  • Edmonton (CITV-TV, channel 13/cable 8, with ERP of 325kW)
    • Red Deer (CITV-TV-1, channel 10, with ERP of 325kW)
    • Whitehorse (CH4491, channel 7, with ERP of 0.02 kW)

CITV is considered as a "superstation" of sorts. Years before digital cable and satellite services began offering "time-shifting" packages of multiple network afilliates, CITV was offered in such locations as Squamish, British Columbia, Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, and St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador.

Currently, a repeater transmitter exists in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory.

The station was launched on September 1, 1974. CITV was originally owned by Allarcom, owned by Dr. Charles Allard, and launched under the brand of Independent Television (ITV), a brand used until 2000 when it became part of the Global Television Network. In 1991, Allarcom was purchased by Western International Communications' WIC Television division, which in turn was purchased by Chedson Global in 1999. It joined the Global Television Network on September 4, 2000, along with fellow Alberta stations CICT and CISA, but had been carrying Global's programming since 1988.

CITV's programming is similar to CICT, incidentally CITV's master control is based out of CICT, along with all the rest of CanWest's television stations. The station carries the full Global network schedule along with 39 hours a week of local news programming. The station producers 7 hours of news per day (Monday - Friday), and 4 hours on the weekends (A 2 hour saturday morning show, and two 30 minute news and sports casts at 6 pm and 11 pm both weekend days.)
