CJOH-DT, CTV station in Ottawa
CJOH-DT is a television station in Ottawa, Ontario that broadcasts on channel 13 as part of the CTV network. Its studios are located in the Market Media Mall building on George Street in the heart of the city, where it shares space with radio stations and a sister television station.
The station first broadcast on March 12, 1961, founded by Ernie Bushnell, a notable figure in local broadcasting. Over the decades, ownership changed multiple times while the station expanded its coverage, introduced color broadcasting, and later transitioned to digital technology.
The station has been the trusted source of news and local events for Ottawa residents for over 60 years. Well-known anchors and reporters became familiar faces to viewers over decades, creating a deep connection between the broadcaster and the community it serves.
The studios are located at a central location in the city and are easily accessible from major neighborhoods. Since the station operates both locally and within the national network, visitors may experience different activities depending on current programming.
ABC news anchor Peter Jennings began his television career at this station before becoming internationally famous. Local news anchor Max Keeping was a fixture for almost four decades, and the city later honored him by naming a pedestrian bridge after him connecting the stadium and train station.
