CBRN-DT (channel 4), branded CBRN Télévision, is a television station licensed to Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, Canada, affiliated with CBC Television. Privately owned by RNC Media, it essentially functioned as a semi-satellite of Montreal CBC Television flagship station CBMT-DT due to not having alternative non-network sources of programming available.
CBRN-DT is sister to Ici Radio-Canada Télé outlet CKRN-DT, TVA outlet CFEM-DT and Val-d'Or-based Noovo outlet CFVS-DT, and the three stations shared studios on Avenue Murdoch and Avenue de la Saint Anne in Rouyn-Noranda. CBRN-DT's transmitter was located near Chemin Powell (north of Route 101).
History
The station commenced broadcasting on December 25, 1957 as then-Radio-Nord's first television station, sharing its callsign with its radio sister station, CKRN AM 1400 (now CHOA-FM 96.5). It was originally an affiliate of Radio-Canada and the English language CBC. The CBC subsequently launched a rebroadcaster in Malartic of its English Montreal affiliate CBMT in the area in 1961, CBVD-TV channel 5, and CKRN dropped its English programming in 1962.
