CKOS-TV was a television station in Yorkton, Saskatchewan. In operation from 1958 to 2002 as a private affiliate of CBC Television, it now exists only as a repeater of the network's station in Regina, with the call sign CBKT-6.
It was a twinstick with the city's CTV affiliate CICC.
[edit] History
In March 1959, in response to CKX-TV's announcement that it would extend its signal further north, Harold Olson, director of Yorkton Television said his company's plans called for extension of CKOS' signal to the Manitoba communities of Dauphin, Swan River and Baldy Mountain.[1]
Yorkton subsequently opened CICC-TV in 1974. In 1984, Yorkton Television also purchased CKBI in Prince Albert. In 1986, Yorkton was acquired by Baton Broadcasting, which became the sole corporate owner of CTV in 1997.
In 2002, CTV sold CKBI-TV and CKOS to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, which converted both to rebroadcasters of larger stations and surrendered both of the old call signs.
