CBYT (TV)
Template:Short description Template:For Template:Infobox television station CBYT (channel 5) was a CBC Television station in Corner Brook, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The station was carried on cable channel 4 in Corner Brook.
HistoryEdit
CBYT launched as a full-fledged station on June 17, 1959, rebroadcasting the signal from CBHT in Halifax, Nova Scotia, until CBNT in St. John's launched in 1964. It was once a semi-satellite of CBNT, carrying a partially separate newscast and producing some programs of its own. However, at its closure, the station was a full rebroadcaster of CBNT, even carrying CBNT's commercials.
In 2002, CBYT ceased to exist as a separately licensed station; its transmitter was assigned to the licence of CBNT.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Due to budget cuts handed down on the CBC in April 2012, the CBC announced several austerity measures to keep the corporation solvent and in operation; this included the closure of the CBC and Radio-Canada's remaining analog transmitters, including CBYT and its transmitters, on July 31, 2012.<ref>CBC/Radio-Canada Speech Transcript: "Speaking notes for Hubert T.
