WABI-TV, a full CBS affiliate from Bangor, was available only via cable television in the southernmost urban areas or townships. It was available with cable television in Fredericton and in places along the Saint John River valley. Moncton, Newcastle/Douglastown/Chatham, Bathurst). WAGM was not provided by cable television in eastern New Brunswick (i.e. television networks, was also done by WAGM. Some videotape-delaying of programming on all three of the U.S. Only the more popular- or potentially popular- prime-time CBS fare was given airtime on WAGM. Most of its daytime schedule was composed of CBS programming, while its evening offerings were often those of ABC or NBC. WAGM-TV from Presque Isle, Maine was primarily, but not fully, a relay for CBS television programming. Cable television became available in urban centres in the early 1970s but did not reach a state of widespread in-home penetration until the latter half of the decade. CBAFT produced some of its own television programmes and would sometimes videotape-delay or preempt the scheduled CBC French network programming to give prime airtime to its own productions.Īmerican television stations from Maine were only available in Canada's eastern Maritime provinces by way of cable television. Other than the northernmost parts of New Brunswick, where CJBR from Rimouski or CHAU from Carleton were receivable via home antenna or by cable television, CBAFT was (and still is) the only means in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island, of accessing CBC French television programming. If CHSJ-TV opted not to air a particular episode of a television series, unless there was a plan by CHSJ to videotape-delay that episode, it would not be seen until its repeat (if any) on the CBC sometime later.
CBHT and CBCT could only be received via home antennas in those parts of New Brunswick closest to Nova Scotia or the Northumberland Strait- and only when atmospheric conditions were favourable. And from then until the CBC finally bought CHSJ-TV in 1994 and turned it into CBAT, New Brunswickers had to depend on CHSJ-TV for access to CBC-TV programming. When CKCD went fully ATV in 1976, CHSJ expanded its broadcast area with a newly installed transmitter near Newcastle. CKCD offered most of the full-network CBC-TV programming but no more than that however, all CBC-TV programming on CKCD was shown simultaneous to presentation on CBC-TV (CBHT), commercials and all. Some of it was videotape-delayed with local, CHSJ commercials inserted, and a sizable amount of it went un-shown.
CBHT's signal was received by CBC-affiliated CHSJ-TV in Saint John and by CKCD in northern New Brunswick, but only a fraction of CBHT's programming was simultaneously transmitted by CHSJ-TV as fully presented. New Brunswick was the one province in Canada to lack an owned-and-operated, English-language CBC television channel in the 1970s and 1980s.

CBCT diverged occasionally from CBHT by offering syndicated repeats of vintage television series such as The Honeymooners or Bewitched and one or two of its own, locally-produced TV series.
CBHT was/is owned and operated by the CBC, as was/is CBCT of Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, and CBIT of Sydney, Nova Scotia. ATV was the Atlantic Provinces' division of the CTV television network and toward the end of the 1990s dropped its ATV name and became known as CTV Atlantic.ĬBC-TV programming distributed in the eastern Maritime provinces originated off of CBHT in Halifax. The television stations that eventually formed the ATV television system were CKCW, CJCB, CJCH, and CKLT, with CKCD acting as a relay for northern New Brunswick offering some ATV fare mixed with CBC-TV programming.
