Until August 29, 2022, CICT-DT served as the master control hub for all 15 Global owned-and-operated stations across Canada.

Its studios, offices and transmitter facility were located on a hill seven miles (11 km) west of the city.

The Love family, owners of CFCN, sold off its stake in 1961 when it opened its own station, CFCN-TV.

In 1968, Tel-Ray sold its stake to Selkirk Communications, part-owner of CFAC radio alongside Southam Inc.

Soon after obtaining the television rights to the (then-newly relocated) Calgary Flames NHL franchise the year before, the station purchased a seven-camera mobile unit.

Although it continued to nominally be an independent station, in 1988, CFAC-TV began airing some programs from the Global Television Network.

Throughout the 1990s, prime time programming became a mix of Global-sourced shows and those either produced or acquired by WIC itself, including the nationally oriented newscast Canada Tonight.

CICT airs the entire Global programming lineup, operating on the same schedule as its Edmonton sister station CITV-DT.

All non-news programming and some Calgary-based newscasts are also aired on fellow sister station CISA-DT in Lethbridge.

The expansions of the morning newscasts were part of a benefits package that was included as a condition of the sale of the Global network to Shaw Communications.
