CBC Television owned-and-operated station (O&O) forSchefferville, Quebec . It is a semi-satellite ofCBMT , the CBC owned and operated station inMontreal . The station was originally founded by theIron Ore Company of Canada Aviation, Limited , and was co-owned with nearby stationCJCL-TV 3 inLabrador City, Newfoundland and Labrador (nowCBNLT ).History
CFKL, along with its sister station CJCL, was originally a privately owned dual CBC and Radio-Canada affiliate, with 73% English programming and 27% French programming. Although privately owned, all shows aired were from CBC and Radio-Canada, with none of its shows being local.
On
July 28 ,1970 , the licences for the two stations (CJCL-TV and CFKL-TV) were renewed for only two years. The Iron Ore Company of Canada Aviation, Limited was considered ineligible to hold a broadcasttelevision station license, as 60% of the company's shares were owned by American companies. Since it was considered very unlikely another company would be willing to buy these stations, their licenses were renewed temporarily under the existing ownership.March 30 ,1973 saw changes to these two small stations. TheCanadian Broadcasting Corporation was given approval to purchase CJCL-TV and CFKL-TV. CJCL changed its call letters to CBNLT and continued to operate as a separate station until 1991, when it became a satellite ofCBNT in St. John's. CFKL-TV became CBSET-1, a repeater of Sept-Îles' CBSET which, in turn, is a semi-satellite of Montreal's CBMT.External links
