CBOT-DT is a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation television station in Ottawa, Ontario. The station's studios are located in the CBC Ottawa Broadcast Centre.

History

The third television station in Canada, CBOT went on the air for the first time on June 2, 1953. Before the launch of Télévision de Radio-Canada station CBOFT, CBOT aired both English language and French language programs.

Station branding

During the late 1970s into the early 1980s, CBOT was known as "CBC 4 Ottawa", and its newscasts were known as "CBC 4 News". In 1980, CBC 4 News at six was anchored by Ab Douglas, and by Joe Spence at 11:27, following The National. In the mid-1980s the station was known as "CBOT 4", then as "CBC Ottawa".
