CJOH-TV (now known on-air as CTV Ottawa) is a television station owned by CTVglobemedia which serves Ottawa, Ontario and the surrounding region. It is part of the CTV Television Network. Since CTV is also owned by CTVglobemedia, CJOH is a CTV owned and operated station, or O&O.

The station broadcasts on Channel 13, from the Ryan Tower at Camp Fortune in Gatineau, Quebec (serving Ottawa-Gatineau), Channel 8 from Lancaster, Ontario (serving Cornwall and, indirectly, Montreal), Channel 6 from Deseronto (serving Kingston and, indirectly, Watertown, New York) and Channel 47 from Pembroke, and is Cable 7 in Ottawa and Glengarry-Prescott-Russell.

Founded by Ernie Bushnell, CJOH signed on for the first time on March 12, 1961, and acquired former Cornwall, Ontario CBC affiliate CJSS as a rebroadcaster in 1963, making CJSS the first station in Canada to cease operations. The Channel 6 transmitter in Deseronto became operational in 1972 to serve the Kingston and Belleville markets. Standard Broadcasting owned the station from 1975 to 1988, when it was sold to Baton Broadcasting. Baton was purchased by Bell Globemedia, now CTVglobemedia, in 2000.

Its studios and offices are located on Merivale Road in Nepean. Newscasts are weekdays at 12 p.m., 6 p.m. and 11:30 p.m., following the CTV News, with the 6 p.m. newscast anchored by Max Keeping and Carol Anne Meehan.

Well-known celebrities who first appeared on CJOH include Rich Little, Alanis Morissette and Peter Jennings. Jennings started his professional career with the station during its early years, anchoring the local newscasts and hosting a teen dance show, Saturday Date, on Saturdays.

Morrissette was briefly part of the cast on a local sketch comedy show, You Can't Do That On Television, aimed at the pre-teen and teen demographics. Originally conceived as a local and partially live production in 1979, the series became a huge success in the United States for the cable channel Nickelodeon starting in 1982 and was subsequently screened in many other countries.

In the 1980s and early-1990s, when CTV offered Toronto Blue Jays baseball, its channel 8 transmitter in Lancaster/Cornwall had to show alternate programming instead, since the area was considered Montreal Expos territory. This substitute programming often had no commercials, and often had no definite end, as the length of baseball games varied. This was discontinued when the Blue Jays left CTV.

CJOH no longer identifies itself on-air by its call letters, having adopted the unified CTV network brand and its newscasts are also branded CTV News.

CJOH provides CTV network coverage for all of Eastern Ontario, a large segment of Western Quebec and portions of Northern New York, USA.

[edit] Controversy

In January of 1970, the station aired an interview in which the word "fuck" was spoken 19 times. In the resulting outcry, several high-ranking executives resigned.

Additionally, You Can't Do That On Television was derided by parents from its very beginning as a local show on CJOH in 1979 for its ubiquitous bathroom humour and for breaking with the Canadian tradition of kind, gentle and educational shows for children, as well as for the shock value of certain sketches such as the show's infamous "green slime." The controversy didn't stop the show from becoming a huge hit, locally and eventually globally.

On August 1, 1995, the station's longtime sports anchor Brian Smith was shot in the station's parking lot by Jeffrey Arenburg, an escaped mental patient who thought the station was broadcasting messages in his head. Smith died in hospital the following day. The incident led to renewed calls across Canada for strengthening of the Canadian government's gun control legislation. (In response to the incident, the station moved its entrance from the front of the building to a side door which is more visible and controlled tightly by security.)
