CKY-TV Winnipeg translators in Manitoba and Ontario in 1986

[Ultimajock]

...does anybody have the complete list of the translator network CKY-TV was on in the summer of 1986? I was a colour commentator for Tony Condello's West Four Wrestling Alliance show that ran on CKY-TV on Saturday afternoons that year, and I'm curious to know exactly how wide the signal range for that program was physically...

My best information is that the CKY transmitter network that exists today is the same as in 1986 and consisted of:

Winnipeg (CKY-TV) ch. 7, 325kw (now converted to digital on the same channel with 24kw)
Fisher Branch (CKYA-TV) ch. 8, 62kw
Brandon (CKYB-TV) ch. 4, 100kw
McCreary (CKYB-TV-1) ch. 13, 140w
Dauphin (CKYD-TV) ch. 12, 140kw
Flin Flon (CKYF-TV) ch. 13, 2.06kw
The Pas (CKYP-TV) ch. 12, 2.13kw
Snow Lake (CKYS-TV) ch. 11, 19w
Thompson (CKYT-TV) ch. 9, 2.185kw

I don't think they ever had any in Ontario. Kenora has its own locally-based CTV station CJBN-TV.

I'm sure via cable, CKY covered the entire province and some of northwest Ontario.

I don't think [CKY] ever had any in Ontario. Kenora has its own locally-based CTV station CJBN-TV.

I'm sure via cable, CKY covered the entire province and some of northwest Ontario.

A couple of years back, CJBN switched to Global, generally showing the same schedule as CKND in Winnipeg, but with local ads and inserts.

CKY is widely available on cable in the Central Time portions of Northwestern Ontario.
