List of former rebroadcasters of CBLT-DT
This is a list of former CBLT-TV transmitters that were used by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation to expand the coverage area of a station to include remote rural areas throughout central and northern portions of the Canadian province of Ontario. These transmitters served as rebroadcasters of CBLT’s main signal that originates from Toronto. 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]
