Fair use rationale for Image:Logo-civt-old.jpg
Image:Logo-civt-old.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:25, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

This is only for people who receive CIVT as a cable exclusive.
Unlike CBUT, I hardly see any advertisements for Vancouver's local businesses on CIVT. The only exceptions that I see are ads for businesses that sponsor closed-captioning and ads for the "CTV Store". Interestingly enough, there are ads that are normally seen only on Canadian cable channels. Some are also seen on American cable channels when the feed is "temperarily broken" to air Canadian services. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.232.178.21 (talk) 17:36, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

When CIVT goes off air,
I see the following: Does anybody know if the network signed off before CBC became 24-hour? Or even as an independent channel for that matter? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Special:Contributions/ (talk)
 * The network only signs after movie nights at 04:30 (or later, depending on how long the movie was). It signs on at 05:01. Strangely enough, this off-air period is between two infomercials (Unless the midnight movie finishes later than 04:30). However, it appears to have signed on at 06:00 on Sept. 8th (before actual programming).
 * In addition to the cameras, background music plays from a specific random number of music files. In most cases, it starts with the first music file. In other cases, it starts at the song after the one where it left off. In the odd few cases, no music plays at all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Special:Contributions/ (talk)
 * Something not too important, it uses the "O Canada" ID that CBC Television used before becoming 24-hour. This ID is also used on SCN (as of August 20th or earlier).
 * Okay, this section might not be necessary anymore. It appears that CIVT might no longer sign off at night. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.6.175.143 (talk) 02:29, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, this must have been just a schedule followed by a different CTV affiliate. CIVT still signs off at night. That could be disregarded.

Possible attention diversion because of 9/11?
Of course the 2001 realignment meant that CTV no longer available over-the-air across most of BC as of September 1st, 2001. It was only 10 days before the World Trade Center attacks. It was a diversion from something financially inconvenient to the consumer to something that was socially serious. Did this actually create a drastic diversion of attention to the fact that CTV is mostly cable only? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.116.251.117 (talk) 02:28, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
 * If CTV were the only Canadian television network in operation, it might have, I suppose. But it isn't. Nobody in Canada lacked for coverage of 9/11, put it that way. Bearcat (talk) 18:50, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:CTV logo.svg
The image Image:CTV logo.svg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check


 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
 * That this article is linked to from the image description page.

Over-the-air details could use a lot more information
I don't think the details about the transmitter on Mount Seymour are clear enough. If it was just Vancouver and Victoria served, then that means the transmitter is at a tilt. Otherwise, it would have been located in the water. If it is straight, then it would presumably be available in numerous other areas. Users in any of the following areas! Do you receive CIVT over-the-air? Just edit this section by typing Yes or No. Boldface regions could answer some non-boldface regions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mechamind90 (talk • contribs) 02:39, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

 * I don't think your logic makes sense. The terrain has a lot to do with people being able to recieve CIVT. TVfool is the closest thing to a accurate couture map, and of the places listed, only northern Victoria, Nanaimo to Parksville, Metro Vancouver, Abbotsford and Bellingham would be able to recieve an adequate signal of CIVT, all of the other places would get static on 32. I could take a screenshot of what I mean. Emarsee (Talk • Contribs) 22:37, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Weak link until fall 2011 only?
I am of the understanding that the vast majority of repeater stations, such as the one run by CHAN-TV, will not be replaced with digital transmitters.

If this is the case, CIVT-TV will not be as weak of a link, though definitely still weak if it does not eventually build transmitters in places like Prince George, Kelowna, Kamloops and such. Other CTV affiliates (and Global Vancouver itself) will also probably be stripped of repeater stations rather than convert them to digital.

However, it is equally possible that the vast majority of repeater stations will continue to operate until equipment breaks down and cannot be repaired, but transmitting the originating station's signal in analog form only, a form that I understand DTV receivers are still capable of receiving.
