KTVU, channel 2, is the San Francisco Bay Area's Fox affiliate. Its studio facilities are located in Oakland, California at Jack London Square and its transmitter is located at Sutro Tower in San Francisco. It has been owned by Cox Enterprises since 1964, making it the largest Fox affiliate by market size that is not owned and operated by the network. It is technically the second largest Cox-owned station behind sister flagship (and ABC affiliate) WSB-TV in Atlanta, despite the fact the Bay Area market is larger than the latter.
KTVU signed on the air as an independent station on March 3, 1958. (The call letters KTVU had been previously used for a short-lived Stockton station on channel 36 in 1955-56, the successor to which, 1967's KGSC-TV -- now KICU-TV -- came under common ownership with KTVU in 2000.) KTVU was the third station in the Bay Area - after KQED and KNTV - after the FCC lifted the VHF permit freeze. Until the completion of the Mount Sutro television tower, KTVU transmitted from a tower on San Bruno Mountain.
In the few areas of the western United States where viewers cannot receive Fox programs over-the-air, KTVU is available to Dish Network customers through National Programming Service
CHCA-TV
CHCA-TV is a television station in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada. It is owned by Canwest, and is part of the E! television system. The station is seen on VHF channel 6 and cable channel 11 in Red Deer. It is also carried in Calgary on Shaw Cable channel 18, and in Edmonton on UHF Channel 17 and Shaw Cable channel 19. The station was previously Red Deer's CBC affiliate.
CHCA-TV can be heard at 87.7 MHz on FM radios, though at a slightly lower volume than other FM stations - due to technical reasons.
Plans to extend the signal to Edmonton and Calgary were denied in 2005 by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), but a new application to the same effect was approved in 2007. The translator in Coronation, formerly CKRD-TV-1 on channel 10 is now on channel 13, broadcasting the Edmonton CBXT signal since the disaffiliation from CBC.
On September 7, 2007, local programming was renamed "CHCA News" as a result of the rebranding of the national CH service as E!.
