Download coordinates as: CFYK-DT (channel 8) is a CBC Television station in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada.
Prior to 2011, the station was licensed by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) as a "radiocommunication distribution undertaking," meaning that for regulatory purposes it was not a true television station, but merely a transmitter that redistributed CBC North from satellite.
[2] However, the CBC was not obligated to convert or close down this station, as no part of the Northwest Territories is designated as a mandatory market for digital conversion.
[3] CFYK had 9 analogue VHF television rebroadcasters in the Northwest Territories.
However, few residents actually lost access to CBC programming due to the extremely high penetration of cable and satellite, which is all but essential for acceptable television in much of the Arctic.
