Defunct radio stations
Ottawa had two very low-power tourist information radio stations which operated on the following frequencies:
- 96.5 CFDT-FM (east)
- 99.9 CFDT-FM-1 (west)
These two stations which were owned by an unknown company were deleted in the late 1990's, early 2000's. It is uncertain when these stations signed on or if they were ever in operation. [1][2]
Television
Despite being one of Canada's largest metropolitan areas, many of the "local" stations serving Ottawa-Gatineau are in fact based in southern Ontario, usually Toronto. Notably, the country's second-most-watched network, Global, relies on its Toronto-based station to serve Ottawa viewers. Despite this, however, Ottawa-Gatineau is unique among Canadian television markets, as the only market in all of Canada which has terrestrial access to virtually the entire range of Canadian broadcast networks and systems in both English and French. The sole exceptions are aboriginal network APTN (which only has broadcast coverage in the North, but is carried on cable in Ottawa and indeed throughout the country) and Joytv (a religious system similar to CTS, which is available locally).
Of the fifteen stations available over the air, only six actually originate from the area and provide local news. These six stations are currently owned by only three companies, with two stations apiece: the CBC (with stations for its English and French networks), RNC Media (which owns the local affiliates of the two private French-language networks, TVA and V), and Bell Media (which owns stations associated with its CTV and CTV Two networks).
Both of the CBC stations carry local evening newscasts in their respective languages. The two Bell Media-owned stations, while nominally maintaining separate news operations, do not currently compete against each other for local news; CTV airs local newscasts at midday and in the evening, while CTV Two only broadcasts a morning newscast. As for the RNC Media stations, the TVA affiliate carries a local evening newscast, whereas the V affiliate only airs short news updates.
