==Transmitters== CBAFT had 21 analog television rebroadcasters throughout the Maritimes. Due to federal funding reductions to the CBC, in April 2012, the CBC responded with substantial budget cuts, which included shutting down CBC's and Radio-Canada's remaining analog transmitters on July 31, 2012.<ref>[http://cbc.radio-canada.ca/en/media-centre/2012/04/04/ Speaking notes for Hubert T. Lacroix regarding measures announced in the context of the Deficit Reduction Action Plan]</ref> None of CBC or Radio-Canada's rebroadcasters were converted to digital. Transmitters in mandatory markets were required to go digital or be taken off the air by the transition deadline of August 31, 2011. The CBC decided that none of its rebroadcasters would switch to digital. The following CBAFT rebroadcasters were in mandatory markets: * CBAFT-1 and CBAFT-10 Fredericton, NB ''(CBAFT-1 served [[Kings County, New Brunswick|Kings County]] and Saint John, while CBAFT-10 offered city-grade coverage to Fredericton)'' * CBFJ-TV St John's, NL * CBHFT Halifax, NS * CBAFT-5 Charlottetown, PE On August 16, 2011, the [[CRTC]] granted the CBC permission to continue operating 22 repeaters in mandatory markets, including the above, in analogue until August 31, 2012, by which time they must either convert to digital or shut down. === Former transmitters === ==== New Brunswick ==== {| class="wikitable sortable" ![[Call signs in North America|Call sign]]<ref>[http://cbc.radio-canada.ca/_files/cbcrc/documents/analogue-tv/analogue-transmitters-emetteurs-analogiques.pdf “Microsoft Word - Analogue transmitters - emetteurs analogiques.docx”].
