List of former rebroadcasters of CBAFT-DT

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki

This is a list of former CBAFT-TV transmitters that were used by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation to expand the coverage area of a station to include remote rural areas throughout The Maritimes of eastern Canada, including the provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador. These 21 transmitters served as rebroadcasters of CBAFT's main signal that originates from Moncton, New Brunswick. Due to budget cuts, the CBC decommissioned these transmitters, along with its other 600+ over-the-air analogue television transmission network on July 31, 2012.[1][2][3][4][5]
