CFLA-TV
CFLA-TV is the name of the local CBC rebroadcast transmitter in Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador. The station was founded by the US Airforce in 1957 via a Canada-United States agreement. The station's licence was held by the CBC (making it a CBC owned and operated television station, but it was maintained and operated by the US Airforce. The station was broadcast on VHF Channel 8 with an ERP of 348 watts (video) and 174 watts (audio).
In 1973, the US Airforce formally transferred operations to the CBC.
On March 1, 1988, the station's licence was renewed. The CRTC also noted that CFLA was basically a rebroadcast transmitter of CBNT-TV St. John's, aside from 3 hours and 20 minutes of locally-produced programming each week. Most of this programming was a ten-minute insert of the daily news and public affairs program "Here and Now" (from CBNT-TV), and a 30-minute news and general interest program "Coffee Break", which aired on weekday mornings.
Starting October 8, 1991, CFLA-TV was given approval to decrease its ERP from 6800 to 1930 watts. With this change, a new antenna system was installed, and the station became a full-time rebroadcaster of CBNT.
