[edit] History

Logo used while as STV. Used from 1987-1997. Shared with CFRE Regina

The station was launched on September 6, 1987 by Canwest. CFSK and its sister station in Regina, CFRE, were initially branded as STV (short for "Saskatchewan Television") until joining the Canwest Global System in 1990. Canwest discontinued the STV branding, along with all other local station brandings in 1997. The station is also carried on Bell TV. As part of Shaw's benefit package for Global this station along with all other Global stations except for CISA-TV and CHBC-TV will get a Morning News cast (unless they already have one).

One of STV's major broadcasts in its early years was the children's program Size Small Island (originally, that show was on sister station CKND-TV in Winnipeg), which was syndicated around the world. (The show's host, Helen Lumby, officially launched the mini-network's first broadcast in 1987).

[edit] News operation

The station currently produces an 4.5 hours of local news every weekday (consisting the three hour Morning News and the half-hour newscasts at 6, 10 and 11 p.m.), and two hours of local newscasts on weekends (consisting of half-hour newscasts at 6 and 10 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday nights); CFSK is among the few Global stations (and one of the few television stations in Canada) to carry a primetime newscast during the 10 p.m. hour.

On December 5, 2011, Global Saskatoon debuted a three-hour newscast on weekday mornings (under Global's Morning News brand), which runs from 6 to 9 a.m. Around the same time, Global Saskatoon became the first television in Saskatoon to broadcast its local news in high definition.

Channel Programming
4.1 CFSK-DT HD feed
4.2 CFSK-DT SD feed

The same program content is duplicated on both subchannels.

On April 15, 2011 CFSK began broadcasting over-the-air in digital on channel 42, on its post-transition channel allotment. With the use of PSIP, digital television receivers are supposed to display CFSK-DT's virtual channel as 4.1 for HDTV and 4.2 for SDTV.
