Global Television Network
–
Global Television Network is a privately owned Canadian English-language broadcast television network. It is currently Canadas second most-watched broadcast television network after CTV, Global is owned by Corus Entertainment — the media holdings of JR Shaw and other members of his family. Global has its origins in a television station of the same name, serving Southern Ontario. The Ontario station was purchased by the now-defunct CanWest Global Communications. The national entity was known as the CanWest Global System until adopting the Ontario stations branding in 1997. The network has its origins in NTV, a new network first proposed in 1966 by Hamilton media proprietor Ken Soble, financially backed by Power Corporation of Canada, Soble submitted a brief to the Board of Broadcast Governors in 1966 proposing a national satellite-fed network. Under the plan, Sobles company would launch Canadas first broadcast satellite, Soble had originally formulated the plan after failing in a bid to acquire CTV. As well, it failed to any plan for local news content on any of its individual stations beyond possibly the metropolitan Toronto, Montreal. He then put together another investment team to form Global Communications, by 1970, the Canadian Radio and Television Commission had put out a formal call for third stations in several major cities. Because Niagara Television and CHCH were no longer involved in the proposal, the network license was approved by the CRTC on July 21,1972. The group was granted a six-transmitter network in Southern Ontario, stretching from Windsor to Ottawa and they had also sought a seventh transmitter in Maxville that could reach Montreal, but were turned down because of a CRTC moratorium on new stations in the Montreal market. The transmitters would all be fed from a studio in Toronto. The group promised a high level of Canadian content and agreed not to accept local advertising, however, the OECA declined the offer, opting instead to expand the TVOntario network by launching its own transmitters. The new Global Television Network, with the callsign CKGN-TV, launched on January 6,1974 from studios located at a factory in the Don Mills neighbourhood in North York at 6 p. m. local time. Although the Ontario station has always been based in Toronto, its transmitter was licensed to Paris, Ontario. The station ran into a crisis within just three months. Due to the CRTC decision, it was forced to launch at midseason, as a result of the crisis, the station quickly lost access to its line of credit. Aspers company, CanWest Capital, owned CKND-TV in Winnipeg, which was carrying some of Globals programs under a syndication deal

Mass media
–
The mass media is a diversified collection of media technologies that reach a large audience via mass communication. The technologies through which communication takes place include a variety of outlets. Broadcast media transmit information electronically, via such media as film, radio, recorded music, digital media comprises both Internet and mobile mass communication. Internet media comprise such services as email, social sites, websites. Print media transmit information via physical objects, such as books, comics, magazines, newspapers, event organizing and public speaking can also be considered forms of mass media. The organizations that control these technologies, such as studios, publishing companies. In the late 20th century, mass media could be classified into eight mass media industries, books, the Internet, magazines, movies, newspapers, radio, recordings, and television. The explosion of digital technology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries made prominent the question. For example, it is whether to include cell phones, computer games. In the 2000s, a called the seven mass media became popular. For example, the Internet includes blogs, podcasts, web sites, the sixth and seventh media, Internet and mobile phones, are often referred to collectively as digital media, and the fourth and fifth, radio and TV, as broadcast media. Some argue that video games have developed into a mass form of media. While a telephone is a communication device, mass media communicates to a large group. In addition, the telephone has transformed into a phone which is equipped with Internet access. A question arises whether this makes cell phones a mass medium or simply a device used to access a mass medium. There is currently a system by which marketers and advertisers are able to tap into satellites and this transmission of mass advertising to millions of people is another form of mass communication. Video games may also be evolving into a mass medium, video games provide a common gaming experience to millions of users across the globe and convey the same messages and ideologies to all their users. Users sometimes share the experience with one another by playing online, excluding the Internet however, it is questionable whether players of video games are sharing a common experience when they play the game individually

News

NeWS is a discontinued windowing system developed by Sun Microsystems in the mid-1980s. Originally known as SunDew, its authors were James Gosling. The NeWS interpreter was based on PostScript extending it to allow interaction, like PostScript, NeWS could be used as a complete programming language, but unlike PostScript, NeWS could be used to make complete interactive programs with mouse support and a GUI. It also added a complete view hierarchy, based on known as canvases. Like the view system in most GUIs, NeWS included the concept of a tree of embedded views along which events were passed, for instance, a mouse click would generate an event that would be passed to the object directly under the mouse pointer, say a button. If this object did not respond to the event, the object under the button would then receive the message, the input handling system was designed to provide strong event synchronization guarantees that were not possible with asynchronous protocols like X. To support user interface widgets, NeWS expanded the original PostScript stack-based language into an object oriented programming style with inheritance. This eliminated the need for an external OO language to build a complete application, since all of these additions were implemented as extensions to PostScript, it was possible to write simple PostScript code that would result in a running, onscreen, interactive program. Two popular demonstration programs were an onscreen clock, which required about two pages of code, and a program which drew a pair of eyes that followed the cursor as it moved around the screen. The eyeball program was shown at SIGGRAPH in 1988, and was the inspiration for the later well-known X application xeyes, NeWS included several libraries of user interface elements, themselves written in NeWS. These widgets ran all of their behaviour in the NeWS interpreter, for example, a toggle buttons display routine can query the buttons state and change its display accordingly. The buttons PostScript code can also react to mouse clicks by changing its state from pressed to not pressed and vice versa. All this can happen in the server without interaction with the client program. If client and server are not on the machine, these interactions must travel over the network. NeWS was architecturally similar to what is now called AJAX, except that NeWS coherently, used PostScript graphics instead of DHTML and CSS for rendering. Used PostScript data instead of XML and JSON for data representation, the best example of such a library is TNT which Sun released in 1989. Sun also shipped an earlier Lite toolkit intended for example purposes, although adoption was never widespread, several companies licensed NeWS and adapted it for various uses. SGI used a version of it named 4Sight to replace their proprietary MEX windowing system, grasshopper Group created a Macintosh port called MacNeWS

Toronto
–
Toronto is the most populous city in Canada and the provincial capital of Ontario. With a population of 2,731,571, Toronto is the fourth most populous city in North America after Mexico City, New York City, and Los Angeles. A global city, Toronto is a centre of business, finance, arts, and culture. Aboriginal peoples have inhabited the area now known as Toronto for thousands of years, the city itself is situated on the southern terminus of an ancient Aboriginal trail leading north to Lake Simcoe, used by the Wyandot, Iroquois, and the Mississauga. Permanent European settlement began in the 1790s, after the broadly disputed Toronto Purchase of 1787, the British established the town of York, and later designated it as the capital of Upper Canada. During the War of 1812, the town was the site of the Battle of York, York was renamed and incorporated as the city of Toronto in 1834, and became the capital of the province of Ontario during the Canadian Confederation in 1867. The city proper has since expanded past its original borders through amalgamation with surrounding municipalities at various times in its history to its current area of 630.2 km2. While the majority of Torontonians speak English as their primary language, Toronto is a prominent centre for music, theatre, motion picture production, and television production, and is home to the headquarters of Canadas major national broadcast networks and media outlets. Toronto is well known for its skyscrapers and high-rise buildings, in particular the tallest free-standing structure in the Western Hemisphere, the name Toronto is likely derived from the Iroquois word tkaronto, meaning place where trees stand in the water. This refers to the end of what is now Lake Simcoe. A portage route from Lake Ontario to Lake Huron running through this point, in the 1660s, the Iroquois established two villages within what is today Toronto, Ganatsekwyagon on the banks of the Rouge River and Teiaiagonon the banks of the Humber River. By 1701, the Mississauga had displaced the Iroquois, who abandoned the Toronto area at the end of the Beaver Wars, French traders founded Fort Rouillé on the current Exhibition grounds in 1750, but abandoned it in 1759. During the American Revolutionary War, the region saw an influx of British settlers as United Empire Loyalists fled for the British-controlled lands north of Lake Ontario, the new province of Upper Canada was in the process of creation and needed a capital. Dorchester intended the location to be named Toronto, in 1793, Governor John Graves Simcoe established the town of York on the Toronto Purchase lands, instead naming it after Prince Frederick, Duke of York and Albany. Simcoe decided to move the Upper Canada capital from Newark to York, the York garrison was constructed at the entrance of the towns natural harbour, sheltered by a long sandbar peninsula. The towns settlement formed at the end of the harbour behind the peninsula, near the present-day intersection of Parliament Street. In 1813, as part of the War of 1812, the Battle of York ended in the towns capture, the surrender of the town was negotiated by John Strachan. US soldiers destroyed much of the garrison and set fire to the parliament buildings during their five-day occupation, the sacking of York was a primary motivation for the Burning of Washington by British troops later in the war

Ontario
–
Ontario, one of the 13 provinces and territories of Canada, is located in east-central Canada. It is Canadas most populous province by a margin, accounting for nearly 40 percent of all Canadians. Ontario is fourth-largest in total area when the territories of the Northwest Territories and it is home to the nations capital city, Ottawa, and the nations most populous city, Toronto. There is only about 1 km of land made up of portages including Height of Land Portage on the Minnesota border. Ontario is sometimes divided into two regions, Northern Ontario and Southern Ontario. The great majority of Ontarios population and arable land is located in the south, in contrast, the larger, northern part of Ontario is sparsely populated with cold winters and is heavily forested. The province is named after Lake Ontario, a thought to be derived from Ontarí, io, a Huron word meaning great lake, or possibly skanadario. Ontario has about 250,000 freshwater lakes, the province consists of three main geographical regions, The thinly populated Canadian Shield in the northwestern and central portions, which comprises over half the land area of Ontario. Although this area mostly does not support agriculture, it is rich in minerals and in part covered by the Central and Midwestern Canadian Shield forests, studded with lakes, Northern Ontario is subdivided into two sub-regions, Northwestern Ontario and Northeastern Ontario. The virtually unpopulated Hudson Bay Lowlands in the north and northeast, mainly swampy. Southern Ontario which is further sub-divided into four regions, Central Ontario, Eastern Ontario, Golden Horseshoe, the highest point is Ishpatina Ridge at 693 metres above sea level located in Temagami, Northeastern Ontario. In the south, elevations of over 500 m are surpassed near Collingwood, above the Blue Mountains in the Dundalk Highlands, the Carolinian forest zone covers most of the southwestern region of the province. A well-known geographic feature is Niagara Falls, part of the Niagara Escarpment, the Saint Lawrence Seaway allows navigation to and from the Atlantic Ocean as far inland as Thunder Bay in Northwestern Ontario. Northern Ontario occupies roughly 87 percent of the area of the province. Point Pelee is a peninsula of Lake Erie in southwestern Ontario that is the southernmost extent of Canadas mainland, Pelee Island and Middle Island in Lake Erie extend slightly farther. All are south of 42°N – slightly farther south than the border of California. The climate of Ontario varies by season and location, the effects of these major air masses on temperature and precipitation depend mainly on latitude, proximity to major bodies of water and to a small extent, terrain relief. In general, most of Ontarios climate is classified as humid continental, Ontario has three main climatic regions

Corus Entertainment
–
Corus Entertainment is a Canadian media and broadcasting company. Formed in 1999 as a spin-off from Shaw Communications, it is headquartered at Corus Quay in Toronto, Ontario, and has prominent holdings in the radio, publishing, and television industries. Corus Entertainments voting majority is held by the companys founder JR Shaw and his family, Corus has a large presence in Canadian broadcasting, as owner of the national Global Television Network,39 radio stations, and a portfolio of 45 specialty television services. The spin-out would leave Shaw as a pure play telecommunications company, Corus would be a separate, publicly-traded company, first listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange in September 1999, but would still be primarily controlled by the Shaw family. In September 1999, Corus acquired the assets of the Power Corporation of Canada. One of these stations, CHAU-TV, was later re-sold to Télé Inter-Rives, Corus also stated that it planned to use the purchase to help launch a preschool-oriented cable network in the United States. In March 2001, in response to complaints by the CRTC over its near-monopoly on ownership of childrens specialty channels in Canada, Corus sold Family Channel to Astral Media for $126.9 million. Corus also sold its stake in Western Canada pay-per-view service Viewers Choice to Shaw for $22.6 million, in August 2002, Corus sold CKDO and CKGE-FM to Durham Radio. Corus also sold its Red Deer, Alberta stations CKGY-FM and CIZZ-FM to Newcap Radio, in July 2007, Corus acquired CKBT-FM and CJZZ from Canwest.

On March 26,2012, Corus and Shaw launched ABC Spark and this aspect of the deal, intended to quell concerns from the CRTC regarding Bells total market share after the merger, was approved by the Competition Bureau on March 18,2013. In an unrelated deal, Corus also announced that it would acquire Shaw Medias stakes in ABC Spark, Historia, Corus indicated that these purchases were meant to help the company expand its television holdings in the competitive Quebec market. Corus also planned to open a new office in Montreal following the sale, on September 1,2013, Coruss television business was reorganized into five divisions, Corus Kids, Corus Women and Family, Corus Content Distribution and Pay TV, Corus Airtime Sales and Corus Média. The Corus Kids division was subdivided into operations for YTV and its networks, the Teletoon Canada group

Owned-and-operated station
–
In the broadcasting industry, an owned-and-operated station usually refers to a television or radio station that is owned by the network with which it is associated. This distinguishes such a station from an affiliate, which is independently owned, the concept of an O&O is clearly defined in the United States and Canada, where network-owned stations had historically been the exception rather than the rule. In the broadcasting industry, the term owned-and-operated station refers exclusively to stations that are owned by television, on the other hand, the term affiliate only applies to stations that are not owned by networks, but instead are contracted to air programming from one of the major networks. The term station correctly applies to the ownership of the station, for example, a station that is owned and operated by the American Broadcasting Company is referred to as an ABC station or an ABC O&O, but normally should not be referred to as an affiliate. Likewise, a station not owned by ABC but contracted to air the networks programming is referred to as an ABC affiliate, that is. A correct formal phrasing could be, ABC affiliate WFAA is a Gannett station, some stations that are owned by companies that operate a network, but air another networks programming are referred to as an affiliate of the network that they carry. For example, WBFS-TV in Miami is owned by the CBS networks parent company CBS Corporation, prior to the September 2006 shutdown of the CBS-owned UPN television network, WBFS aired that networks programming, therefore, WBFS was a UPN O&O. The stations carrying The WB Television Network were another exception, the controlling shares in the network were held by Time Warner, with minority interests from the Tribune Company and, for a portion of networks existence, the now-defunct ACME Communications. While Tribune-owned stations such as WGN-TV in Chicago, WPIX in New York City and KTLA in Los Angeles aired programming from The WB, a similar exception existed when UPN launched in January 1995 by co-owners Chris-Craft and Viacom. Each of the owned a number of stations that aired the network. However, the stations were not considered O&Os under the initial standard definition. This ambiguity ended with Viacoms buyout of Chris-Crafts share of the network in 2000, the stations were referred to informally as UPN O&Os. Following the shutdowns of UPN and The WB, CBS Corporation, Entertainment became co-owners of the new CW Television Network, which largely merged the programming from both networks onto the scheduling model used by The WB. The network launched in September 2006 on 11 UPN stations owned by CBS Corporation, certain UPN and WB affiliates in markets where Tribune and CBS both owned stations carrying those networks either picked up a MyNetworkTV affiliation or became independent stations. The standard definition of an O&O again does not apply to The CW, in Australia, Seven Network, Nine Network and Network Ten each own and operate stations in the five largest metropolitan areas. These television markets together account for two thirds of the countrys population, in addition, Seven also owns and operates its local station in regional Queensland, and Nine owns and operates its station in Darwin. Nine also owns and operates NBN Television, based in Newcastle, the two national public broadcasters, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and Special Broadcasting Service, own and operate all of their local stations. In Japan, commercial terrestrial television is focused on five organizations, the four largest of these – Nippon TV, Tokyo Broadcasting System, Fuji Television, and TV Asahi – each own and operate stations in the Tokyo, Keihanshin, Chukyo and Fukuoka metropolitan areas

CTV Television Network
–
CTV is an English-language broadcast television network in Canada launched in 1961. Since 2000 it is owned by the Bell Media division of BCE, Bell Media also operates additional CTV-branded properties, including the 24-hour national cable news network CTV News Channel and the secondary CTV Two television system. Calgary and Edmonton were served by privately owned CBC affiliates, the six markets by CBC owned-and-operated stations. Indeed, Baton had already begun quietly contacting the successful applicants in other cities to gauge their interest in forming a group to share Canadian programming among the stations. This led to the July 1960 formation of the Independent Television Organization, consisting of all eight of the newly licensed private stations, each station would have a single vote in the ITOs operations, regardless of the size of the stations audience. The ITO soon resolved to apply for a licence to link these second stations. The BBG – and particularly its chair Andrew Stewart – was not in favour of a station-owned network, although it did not immediately approve Caldwells proposal, it soon set several conditions on such a network that effectively made Caldwells group the only feasible applicant. That fall, the Caldwell group and the ITO faced off in a series of meetings with the BBG, ultimately, the BBG granted a licence to CTN, conditional on securing the affiliation of six of the eight ITO stations. Batons opposition to the CTN reversed in early 1961, soon after CFTO won the broadcast rights to the Canadian Football League Eastern Conference for the 1961 and 1962 seasons. Batons original plan was to operate a network to distribute the games incorporating CFTO, other independent stations. Although the plan was never officially rejected, various uncertainties eventually led John Bassett to decide to sign an agreement with CTN instead to ensure the games would air. The network finally launched as the CTV Television Network on October 1,1961, the CBC had objected to the networks initial name, apparently claiming it had exclusive rights to the term Canadian, and therefore the letters CTV have no official expanded meaning. The CTV networks first night on-air began with Harry Raskys promotional documentary on the new network and that was followed by a fall season preview program. At first, flagship CFTO was the station that carried programming live. During CBCs off-hours, CTV used CBCs microwave system to send programming to the rest of the country on tape delay, eventually, a second microwave channel opened up, enabling live programming from coast to coast. For example, most of the rights to American programming rested with the ITO, in many cases, CTV found itself competing with its own stations for the rights to programming. Caldwells departure in 1965 did little to alleviate the situation, in 1966, the networks affiliates sought permission to buy the network and run it as a cooperative. The BBG was initially skeptical of the proposal, since CFTO was by far the largest and richest station, the BBG feared that CFTO would dominate CTV if the stations were allowed to buy the network

Western International Communications
–
It is not to be confused with Allarco Entertainment, the parent company of Super Channel. The company itself was acquired by CanWest Global Communications, which kept most of WICs broadcast television stations, a handful of assets would be acquired by other companies for competitive reasons. WBC was publicly traded for a time but was reacquired by Griffithss family. In 1982, the Griffiths media assets were again floated on the markets in a restructured form via WIC. The Griffiths retained Western Broadcasting, which in turn all of WICs Class A voting shares. Class B shares did not generally provide voting rights, but would be converted to voting shares should a majority of Class A shares change hands and its final major acquisition was Montreals CFCF-TV, which it bought in 1997. In 1997, wanting to exit the business, the Griffiths agreed to sell WIC to Shaw Communications. CanWest also offered to buy the Class B shares and filed a lawsuit claiming that the division of Class A shares constituted a change of control, the lawsuit eventually stalled, and CanWest and Shaw each ended garnered over 40% of Class B shares. The negotiations between Shaw and CanWest continued until 1999, when the two parties, as well as Corus Entertainment, agreed to split the assets. Under the agreement, CanWest was to acquire WICs broadcast television division, various production assets, however, in Montreal, where CanWest chose to keep its existing Global station CKMI, the company was required to divest CFCF, and eventually sold it to CTV. Retaining CFCF would have given Global a monopoly on commercial English language television in Montreal, CanWest also retained WICs interest in Report on Business Television, it was subsequently sold to rival Bell Globemedia when that company acquired The Globe and Mail, which owned the remainder. Cancom would be privatized by Shaw a few years later, meanwhile, Corus was to acquire WICs radio, specialty, and premium television assets. Astral Media acquired those shares in 2001, an earlier application by Global in 1997 had been turned down in favour of Craig Medias A-Channel system. However, the WIC stations there were already purchasing broadcast rights to some of Globals programming, in Vancouver and Victoria, Canwests acquisition of CHAN set off one of the largest single-market network association shakeups in North American television history.

CTV National News
–
CTV National News is CTVs flagship newscast, which airs at 11,00 pm local time on the CTV stations across Canada. The previous days newscast can be seen on the Internet, the anchors are Lisa LaFlamme on weekdays, and Sandie Rinaldo on weekends. The program is also broadcast in High-Definition, LaFlamme succeeded longtime weekday anchor Lloyd Robertson during the second half of 2011, following Robertsons retirement. Substitute anchors include Rinaldo, Kevin Newman, Beverly Thomson, Ken Shaw, Dan Matheson, Scott Laurie, Marci Ien, Todd van der Heyden and Omar Sachedina. The title CTV National News was rarely used in the 1990s and early 2000s, weeknights, the newscast ran for 20 minutes until it was expanded to a half-hour in the 1980s. Prior to 1992, the newscast ran a second in national news ratings to CBC Televisions The National. In that year, its ratings jumped significantly after the CBCs unsuccessful renaming of its newscast as Prime Time News, CTV National News became the top-rated newscast for the first time in its history. Local newscasts are never broadcast nationally, the national reporter always mentions their name and location where they are based at the end of the story, even though that location is often different from the location of the story. Until September 1998, CTV National News aired at midnight in the Maritime provinces and this was because CTV National News only produced one edition for the entire network, which aired live at 11,00 pm EST. CTV National News moved to its new time in September 1998, various promotional ads have claimed it to be Canadas #1 Newscast, however, it has faced competition with Global Television Networks Global National and CBC News The National in the ratings. The three newscasts air at different times, CTVs claim to first place is based on a seven-day comparison of the newscasts original broadcast-network airings. CTV National News is not the same as CTV Evening News, the Evening News is not a single newscast but the national aggregate of CTV O&Os local 6,00 p. m. newscasts. The program was launched as CTV World News in 1961 from the studios of CJOH in Ottawa and it was presented by three anchors, Charles Lynch, Peter Stursberg and Peter Jennings. The anchor team changed a number of times over the first few years of broadcast, other co-anchors included Baden Langton and Ab Douglas. Larry Henderson, the former host of The National, was the international affairs analyst. In the 1962-63 season, struggling to compete with CBCs more established CBC National News, CTV moved its newscast to 10,30, scheduling a variety show, Network, for 10,55 p. m. Jennings left for ABC News in 1964, and Harvey Kirck, Jennings co-anchor since 1963, in 1976, CTV National News scored a major coup by hiring Lloyd Robertson, anchor of CBCs The National, as co-anchor with Kirck. When Kirck retired in 1984, Robertson became sole anchor of the program

The group includes the Beijing dialect, the basis of Standard Mandarin or Standard Chinese, because most Mandarin dialects are found in the north, the group is sometimes referred to as the Northern dialects. Many local Mandarin varieties are not mutually intelligible, nevertheless, Mandarin is often placed first in any list of languages by number of native speakers. Most Mandarin varieties have four tones, the final stops of Middle Chinese have disappeared in most of these varieties, but some have merged them as a final glottal stop. Many Mandarin varieties, including the Beijing dialect, retain retroflex initial consonants, the capital has been within the Mandarin area for most of the last millennium, making these dialects very influential. Some form of Mandarin has served as a lingua franca since the 14th century. In the early 20th century, a form based on the Beijing dialect. Standard Chinese is the language of the Peoples Republic of China and Taiwan. Since their native varieties were often mutually unintelligible, these officials communicated using a Koiné language based on various northern varieties, when Jesuit missionaries learned this standard language in the 16th century, they called it Mandarin, from its Chinese name Guānhuà, or language of the officials. In everyday English, Mandarin refers to Standard Chinese, which is called simply Chinese. Standard Chinese is based on the particular Mandarin dialect spoken in Beijing, with some lexical and it is the official spoken language of the Peoples Republic of China, the official language of the Republic of China, and one of the four official languages of the Republic of Singapore. It also functions as the language of instruction in Mainland China and it is one of the six official languages of the United Nations, under the name Chinese. Chinese speakers refer to the standard language as Pǔtōnghuà in Mainland China, Guóyǔ in Taiwan, or Huáyǔ in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Philippines. Linguists use the term Mandarin to refer to the group of dialects spoken in northern and southwestern China. The alternative term Běifānghuà, or Northern dialects, is used less and less among Chinese linguists, by extension, the term Old Mandarin or Early Mandarin is used by linguists to refer to the northern dialects recorded in materials from the Yuan dynasty. Native speakers who are not academic linguists may not recognize that the variants they speak are classified in linguistics as members of Mandarin in a broader sense, the hundreds of modern local varieties of Chinese developed from regional variants of Old Chinese and Middle Chinese. Traditionally, seven groups of dialects have been recognized. Aside from Mandarin, the six are Wu, Gan and Xiang in central China

CIII-DT

CIII-DT, virtual and UHF digital channel 41, is the flagship station of the Global Television Network serving Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The station is owned by Corus Entertainment, CIII maintains studio facilities located at 81 Barber Greene Road in the Don Mills district of central Toronto, and its transmitter is located atop the CN Tower in downtown Toronto. The station serves much of the population of Ontario through a network of 13 transmitters across primarily the southern, ken Soble, the founder of CHCH-TV in Hamilton, Ontario envisioned a national superstation of 96 satellite-fed transmitters with CHCH as its flagship. In 1970, one of Sobles former employees, Al Bruner, Global Communications still aspired to eventually build out Sobles original 97-station network, and viewed the seven-transmitter Ontario chain as an interim step. However, since CHCH was no longer involved in the application, the station first signed on the air on January 6,1974 as CKGN-TV. It branded itself as the Global Television Network, a name reflected its then-unprecedented coverage of most of Southern Ontario from six transmitters fed from a centralized studio. Through its entire history, however, the main studio facility has been based in a converted factory in the Don Mills area of North York. It had hoped to be distinct from CBC and CTV by airing a number of its own Canadian-made programs, three months later, however, many of these programs had been canceled due to deep financial problems. It had made a blunder by signing on in the middle of the 1973-74 television season. It barely registered as a blip in the ratings, in Toronto, for instance, it drew a 2.5 share, just a fraction of those drawn by CBC. Its line of credit was yanked, and it was unable to meet daily expenses, amid losses of over a million dollars a month, the network was forced to scrap its ambitious business model just to survive. Instead, it began airing as much content as allowed. The stations financial difficulties continued until it was bailed out by two conglomerates in 1977 – a Toronto-based group headed by Paul Morton and a Winnipeg-based group headed by Izzy Asper, the Asper group bought controlling interest in 1985. In 1989, the two tried to buy out each others shares, and the CRTC ended the contest by allowing Asper and his company, CanWest. The stations callsign was changed to CIII-TV in January 1984, in accordance with its 10th anniversary of broadcasting, CIII has evolved into a much more Toronto-centric station in recent years. Previously, it employed a number of journalists from across the province who filed reports for Global News. This, along with extensive provincewide weather coverage, gave the station a distinctive Ontario feel for many years, in the late 1990s, its focus had shifted almost exclusively toward Toronto. Aspers stations formed a mini-network across portions of Canada outside of Ontario that by 1990 was known as the Canwest Global System

Morning show
–
Breakfast television or morning show is a type of infotainment television program, which broadcasts live in the morning. Often hosted by a team of hosts, these types of programs are typically targeted at the combined demographic of people getting ready for work and school. The first – and longest-running – national breakfast/morning show on television is Today, Breakfast television programs are geared toward popular and demographic appeal. Later in the programme, segments will typically begin to target a dominantly female demographic with a focus on news, such as human-interest, lifestyle. The first morning news programme was Three To Get Ready, a local production hosted by comedian Ernie Kovacs that aired on WPTZ in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from 1950 to 1952, although the programme was mostly entertainment-oriented, the programme did feature some news and weather segments. Its success prompted NBC to look at producing something similar on a national basis, CBS has had a seemingly endless rotation of failed morning news shows. The network abandoned the show in 1957. From the late 1960s throughout the 1970s, the CBS Morning News aired as a straight one-hour morning newscast that had a rate of turnover among its anchors. It was not until 1982 that Captain Kangaroo ended its run on weekdays, however, the high rate of turnover among anchors returned. An ill-fated comedic revamp of the show, The Morning Programme, after that, however, came This Morning, which has so far had the longest run of any of CBS morning show attempts. This Morning was eventually cancelled 12 years later, being replaced by The Early Show in 1999, The Early Show, in turn, ABC was a latecomer to the morning show competition. Instead of carrying a national show, it adopted the AM franchise introduced by many of its local stations in 1970. KABC-TVs AM Los Angeles launched the career of Regis Philbin and was a direct predecessor to his syndicated talk show Live. AM Chicago on WLS-TV would later evolve into The Oprah Winfrey Show, GMA has traditionally run in second place, but has surpassed Today in the ratings a few times in its history. Since the 1980s, Live. has been produced and distributed by ABCs syndication arm, primarily for ABC stations, a few of the major Spanish language broadcast networks also produce morning shows, which are often more festive in format. ¡Despierta América. is the longest-running Spanish language morning programme on U. S. cable news outlets have adopted the morning show format as well. Fox & Friends on Fox News Channel, Early Start and New Day on CNN respectively follow the networks morning show format. MSNBCs Morning Joe follows a format reminiscent of talk radio and incorporates panel discussions

Throughout the 1990s, Global held Canadian rights to hit U. S. series such as Cheers, Friends, Canwest also bought broadcasting assets internationally, including outlets in New Zealand, the Republic of Ireland, and Australia, although all were eventually sold off. In 1991, Canwest issued an initial public offering on the Toronto Stock Exchange. In June 1996, Canwest was listed on the New York Stock Exchange, lacking a presence in Alberta, the company set its sights on Western International Communications, which owned three independent stations in that province that carried Global programming. It eventually bought that companys broadcasting assets in 2000, later that year, Canwest announced its acquisition of the Southam newspaper chain from Conrad Black, in order to pursue a media convergence strategy. Canwest was initially slow to invest in specialty channels due to the strength of its terrestrial network, as early as 2002, most of Canwests operating income was going to pay interest on its high-interest rate debt. By 2007, the bonds were downgraded to junk status. In October 2005, CanWests Canadian newspapers were sold into an IPO trust, sold 25. 8% of Canadas newspapers for C$550 million. Attached to the Canadian newspaper IPO was $850 million in long term debt, CanWest bought back the 25. 8% Newspaper Trust IPO in November 2008, for cash considerations of $495 million.

Polish writer and filmmaker Bolesław Matuszewski was among those who identified the mode of documentary film and he wrote two of the earliest texts on cinema Une nouvelle source de lhistoire and La photographie animée. Both were published in 1898 in French and among the written works to consider the historical. Matuszewski is also among the first filmmakers to propose the creation of a Film Archive to collect, the American film critic Pare Lorentz defines a documentary film as a factual film which is dramatic. Others further state that a documentary stands out from the types of non-fiction films for providing an opinion. Documentary practice is the process of creating documentary projects. Documentary filmmaking can be used as a form of journalism, advocacy, early film was dominated by the novelty of showing an event. They were single-shot moments captured on film, a train entering a station and these short films were called actuality films, the term documentary was not coined until 1926. Many of the first films, such as made by Auguste and Louis Lumière, were a minute or less in length. Films showing many people were made for commercial reasons, the people being filmed were eager to see, for payment. One notable film clocked in at over an hour and a half, using pioneering film-looping technology, Enoch J. Rector presented the entirety of a famous 1897 prize-fight on cinema screens across the United States, in May 1896, Bolesław Matuszewski recorded on film few surigical operations in Warsaw and Saint Petersburg hospitals. In 1898, French surgeon Eugène-Louis Doyen invited Bolesław Matuszewski and Clément Maurice and they started in Paris a series of surgical films sometime before July 1898. Until 1906, the year of his last film, Doyen recorded more than 60 operations, Doyen said that his first films taught him how to correct professional errors he had been unaware of. These and five other of Doyens films survive, all these short films have been preserved. I must say I forgot those works and I am thankful to you that you reminded them to me, unfortunately, not many scientists have followed your way. Travelogue films were popular in the early part of the 20th century

Ignatieffs popularity as well as that of the Liberals dropped off immediately afterwards. In 2011, Elections Canada laid charges against the Conservative Party, milliken directed both matters to committee and set as the deadline for its report March 21,2011, one day before the budget was to be tabled.

Its signal covered the central Okanagan, broadcasting at 3,700 watts of power from its main studios, the station was founded by three local radio stations, CKOV-AM in Kelowna, CKOK in Penticton and CJIB in Vernon. Due to the terrain of the area, which impaired the primary signal in certain areas. At the time of the stations sign-on, only 500 homes in the area had television receivers and they also relied on 16 mm film, which was developed first by a local photo lab, and then again in-house. In 1960, the station began receiving programs from the CBC via its microwave link, local programs and advertisements were produced live to air. Locally produced programs during the early days included Kids Bids, The Three Rs, Romper Room, Lets Visit, Midday, Focus. In 1964, CHBC received its first videotape machine, which aided the production of local programming, in the late 1960s, CHBC and fellow CBC affiliate CFJC in Kamloops formed BCI-TV, an internal company headed by CHBC for programming and sales of the combined Okanagan/Kamloops markets. The national sales were delegated to All Canada Sales, which provided advertising sales for both stations as a unit under the name BCI TV. For years, both stations carried virtually identical programming schedules, apart from local newscasts, the full conversion to colour broadcasts was completed in 1971, when CHBC purchased a colour studio camera. During the 1970s and 1980s, the ownership of the station changed, beginning with the purchase of CKOKs one-third ownership by general manager Roy Chapman, Selkirk Communications brought CJIB, and along with it, its 33% stake. CKOV sold its stake in equal parts to both CHAN and Selkirk, which resulted in companies each owning 50% of the station. As a result, the station increased its programming and advertisements. When Maclean-Hunter took over Selkirk in 1989, CHANs parent company Western International Communications purchased Selkirks stake to full control of CHBC. In 1998, the Griffiths familys stake in WIC was sold to a joint venture between Shaw Communications and Canwest, after months of negotiations, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission approved the split of WICs assets between Canwest, Corus Radio and Shaw Communications. CHBC and sister station CHAN-TV were sold to Canwest in 2000, when Canwest acquired CHBC, it assumed the same role in selling advertising and providing programming, primarily from its CH television system. In late 2003, the CBC notified CHBC that it did not intend to renew its agreement with the station after it expired in August 2005

This station can also be seen on Shaw Cable channel 5 and it is the second-smallest station that is part of the Global network and is the only standalone commercial station in Southern Alberta. The station was a joint venture between local radio station CJOC and the Lethbridge Herald and it was managed by CJOCs owners, Taylor Pearson & Carson, and began life as an affiliate of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporations television network. Network programs on kinescope arrived within a few days to a week after they went to air live in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, at the time, CJLH was the only station in the Lethbridge area. These programs earned the station many awards, including seven Liberty Magazine awards in the 1950s and 1960s. In 1958, the problems the station had with network programming were eliminated when it was able to get a direct microwave link to the CBC network via its Calgary time-delay centre. The problem still existed for live events, such as NHL hockey. In 1961, CJLH expanded into the Crowsnest Pass area, by opening a station at Burmis on channel 3. An application from CFCN-TV in Calgary to open a station in Lethbridge was unsuccessful in getting CRTC approval that year. However, a later in 1968, an agreement was reached between CFCN and CJLH to share space on the CJLH tower and building for technical equipment.

The station launched on March 17,1957, and was the privately owned station in Quebec. It was licensed to Quebec City, and aired an analog signal on VHF channel 5, CKMI was originally owned by Télévision de Québec, along with the provinces first private station, CFCM-TV. The stations studios were located alongside CFCMs facilities in Sainte-Foy, then a suburb of Quebec City, Télévision de Québec was a consortium of cinema chain Famous Players and Quebec Citys three privately owned radio stations, CHRC, CKCV and CJQC. It immediately became Quebec Citys CBC Television affiliate, taking all English language programming from CFCM, in 1964, following the opening of CBVT, CFCM disaffiliated from Radio-Canada and joined the loose association of independent stations that evolved into TVA, while CKMI remained with CBC. The largest shareholder, Famous Players, was a subsidiary of American film studio Paramount Pictures, eventually, Famous Players reduced its shares to 20% by 1971, allowing Télévision de Québec to keep CKMI and CFCM. The company renamed itself Télé-Capitale in 1974, CKMI and CFCM were bought by Pathonic in 1979, and then by Télé-Metropole in 1989. For many years, CKMI was known on-air as MI-5, for most of its first 40 years on the air, it stayed afloat only because of the revenues from CFCM, long the dominant station in Quebec City. Much of its viewership came from members of the National Assembly. For many years, its only newscast was a five-minute update and it began airing Global shows in the 1980s, and was picked up by most cable providers in Montreal as a result. By 1992, however, growing financial trouble forced CKMI to drop all non-CBC programming and become a de facto repeater of Montreals CBC O&O and it also carried CBMTs newscasts, though CKMI aired its own five-minute newscast, Inside Quebec, before CBMTs Newswatch on weeknights. Relief did not come until 1997, when TVA sold a 51% controlling interest in the station to Izzy Aspers Canwest Global Communications, TVA and Canwest formed a joint venture that assumed ownership of CKMI. CKMI then added semi-satellites in Montreal and Sherbrooke, reappearing on Montreal cable systems as a result, on that date, CKMI disaffiliated from CBC and became the Quebec affiliate of the newly minted network. As part of the deal, CKMI moved from VHF channel 5 to UHF channel 20 using a transmitter at the Quebec City tower farm atop Mount Bélair. The CBC took over CKMIs old transmitter and site in Sainte-Foy and used it to set up CBVE-TV, Global had spent almost a quarter-century trying to get a transmitter in Montreal. When the network launched in 1974 as an Ontario-based network, original plans called for a transmitter in Maxville
