CTV is Canada's largest privately-owned English language television network.

Officially the letters "CTV" do not stand for anything, but most viewers simply take them to mean "Canadian Television." The network's promotional campaign(s) appear to support this viewpoint.

History

---

In 1958, Prime Minister John Diefenbaker's government passed a new Broadcasting Act, establishing the Board of Broadcast Governors (forerunner to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission) as the governing body of Canadian broadcasting, thus ending the CBC's dual role as regulator and broadcaster. The new board's first act was to take applications for "second" television stations in Halifax, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver in response to an outcry for another programming choice. Calgary and Edmonton were served by privately-owned CBC affiliates; the other six by owned-and-operated CBC stations.
