CHNB-TV
Encyclopedia : C : CH : CHN : CHNB-TV
CHNB is a former Canadian television station, which broadcast in North Bay, Ontario. It was a private affiliate of the CBC.
CHNB was established on October 15, 1971 by J. Conrad Lavigne, the owner of CFCL in Timmins. On the same day, the existing television station in North Bay, CKNY, switched affiliation to CTV.
Until 1980, CHNB and CKNY aggressively competed with each other for advertising dollars, leaving both in a precarious financial position due to the North Bay market's relatively small size. In 1980, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission approved the merger of the two stations, along with their co-owned stations in Sudbury and Timmins, into the MCTV twinstick.
In 1990, the stations were acquired by Baton Broadcasting. Baton subsequently sold CHNB to the CBC in 2002. The station is now a semi-satellite of CBLT in Toronto, with the callsign CBLT-4.
