CFTK-TV is a television station in Terrace, British Columbia, broadcasting on channel 3. It is owned by Standard Broadcasting and is the CBC Television affiliate in that city. The station also has a repeater in Prince Rupert, broadcasting on Channel 6.
CFTK went on the air for the first time on November 1, 1962. Standard Broadcasting acquired CFTK from Telemedia in 2002. Telemedia had owned CFTK since 1999.
With CBC Television going to a 24-hour schedule beginning in October 2006, CFTK-TV has increased the amount of CBC programming in its schedule, leaving only local news in its schedule and eliminating syndicated shows altogether; this, in effect, has made CFTK-TV into a semi-satellite of Vancouver's CBUT.
