===As Hope TV/FaithTV===

In late-August 2013, CIIT re-launched as "Hope TV", dropping the Joytv format and all secular programs in favour of a traditional religious format. Total weekly viewing hours dropped from 84,000 in Fall 2012 to just 28,000 hours in Fall 2013,<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.tvb.ca/page_files/pdf/InfoCentre/TVBasics2013-2014.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=January 8, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170108081810/http://www.tvb.ca/page_files/pdf/InfoCentre/TVBasics2013-2014.pdf |archive-date=January 8, 2017 |url-status=dead }}</ref> recovering slightly to 42,000 hours in Fall 2014—but still equivalent to just one percent of the total viewing hours earned by the Winnipeg CTV station, and two percent of the hours earned by both the CBC and Global stations.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.tvb.ca/page_files/pdf/InfoCentre/TVBasics2014-2015.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=January 8, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160705232630/http://www.tvb.ca/page_files/pdf/InfoCentre/TVBasics2014-2015.pdf |archive-date=July 5, 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

In 2017, CIIT was reprimanded by the [[Canadian Broadcast Standards Council]] for having aired an episode of the [[brokered programming|time-buy program]] ''Truth of God'', wherein a pastor referred to U.S. lawmakers as "pedophiles" and with [[homophobic]] slurs when discussing his objection to [[bathroom bill]]s.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.cbsc.ca/ciit-dt-hopetv-re-truth-of-god/|title=CIIT-DT (HopeTV) re Truth of God|publisher=[[Canadian Broadcast Standards Council]]|language=en-US|access-date=August 4, 2017}}</ref>

In September 2018, CIIT was rebranded ''FaithTV''.
