Retro: Maritimes, Fri. May 8, 1964

From the Halifax Chronicle-Herald, once again my commentary in italics. Note that CBAFT (Radio-Canada) Moncton was not listed.

2 - CKCW-TV (CBC) Moncton, NB
CKCW was an independent CBC affiliate, later to become a CTV affiliate and absorbed into ATV in 1972. In 1964 CKCW was showing a limited amount of CTV programming in addition to CBC, and by this point also had some satellite stations in Northern New Brunswick as part of the Lionel Television System. I am not sure how much, if any separate programming those stations had.

5 - CJCH-TV (CTV) Halifax
(Later the flagshop of ATV, CJCH was the Maritimes' only CTV affiliate at the time. CTV did not yet have a national newscast, but would launch one later this year. Considering CBHT's length of newscast at the time, and that CJCH had a 55-minute news program at 6, Halifax was well-served for local news at the time. No Live at 5 yet, thankfully.)

I am not sure how much, if any separate programming those stations had.

After CKCW switched to full CTV service (which also resulted in CHSJ and CKCW putting relays in each other's cities), CKAM Upsalquitch Lake, CKCD Campbellton, and the 3 Quebec relays (Mont-Blanc/Perce, Mont-Bechervaise/Gaspe, and Murdochville) ran a combined CBC/CTV sked (copies of L'Evangeline, the then-French daily in Moncton, on Google News Archive has their listings)- TVG also listed it separately under the CKCD calls when the Maritimes edition launched in 1976, CKCD/CKAM/Quebec tx switched to full CTV service in fall 1976 after CHSJ established their own transmitters "Up North".
