Everything about Ckws-tv totally explained
CKWS is an affiliate of the
CBC Television Network in
Kingston, Ontario, providing coverage to
Eastern Ontario from
Campbellford to
Morrisburg and from
Perth to
Oswego, New York in the
United States.
CKWS is available on many
cable systems throughout Eastern Ontario and Northern/Central
New York. Its Channel 11 transmitter is located on Wolfe Island, south of
Kingston. The tower height is 1000 ft. (304.8 meters), and the effective radiated power is 325,000 watts. There are also UHF transmitters in
Brighton (Channel 66),
Spencerville (Channel 26) and
Port Elmsley (Smiths Falls/Perth) on Channel 36.
CKWS is owned by
Corus Entertainment and its studios and offices are located at 170 Queen Street in downtown Kingston. CKWS has been a CBC affiliate since its inception in late
1954. It was originally a joint venture between
Roy Thomson and the
Kingston Whig-Standard newspaper. The station has been sold three times: to the Kanatec Corporation, bought by
Power Corporation in
1977 and to Corus in
1999.
Many children across the country were exposed to CKWS programming in the late
1970s and
1980s by the
Harrigan series - a particularly innocent and low budget show about a leprechaun, starring Barry Dale.
Shelagh Rogers of
CBC Radio fame started out presenting the weather for the station's newscasts.
Until the arrival of
CJOH's
Deseronto repeater on channel 6 in 1972 and cable television in Kingston in 1973, CKWS had very much a captive audience, as the only other nearby station routinely available over-the-air was
Watertown, New York's
WWNY.
Although the station is a private affiliate, it airs the minimum amount of CBC programming (40 hours per week), and fills the rest of its schedule with programming from
E!, much like its sister station
CHEX-TV in
Peterborough.
