CKRT-DT, virtual and VHF digital channel 7, was an Ici Radio-Canada Télé-affiliated station licensed to Rivière-du-Loup, Quebec, Canada.

Not long after bringing the station on-air, the Simards discovered that the lower, western portions of the city experienced frequent signal dropout.

Realizing that there was no way to serve all of the city from a single transmitter, CKRT applied for and received permission to sign on a "nested" rebroadcaster in Rivière-du-Loup, CKRT-TV-3, on channel 13.

CKRT did not have access to alternative non-network program sources (as privately owned English language CBC affiliates did when they existed).

As Inter-Rives already operated separate TVA and Noovo affiliates in the market, the station had no other source of alternate programming available, forcing CKRT to go off the air on August 31.
