CKES-DT, virtual channel 45 (UHF digital channel 30), is a Yes TV owned-and-operated television station licensed to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The station is owned by Crossroads Christian Communications. CKES-DT's studios are located on Calgary Trail Northwest and 52nd Avenue in Edmonton, and its transmitter is located in Sherwood Park.

History[]

Licensed by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) on June 8, 2007,[1] the station began broadcasting five months later on October 8, 2007 on UHF channel 30.

CTS was rebranded as "Yes TV" on September 1, 2014. The rebranding coincides with the introduction of several secular programs into the schedule such as American Idol, Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy!.[2]

Programming[]

Yes TV airs programming intended for family viewing, mostly based on Christian values, including dramas, comedies, mini-series and reality, game, and talk shows; although Yes TV also features shows on political commentary and other religions, including Judaism, Islam and Sikhism. Yes TV also airs secular mainstream programs during prime time hours. It is governed by the CRTC's Religious Broadcast Regulations and follows a policy of not airing shows containing "coarse language, gratuitous violence or explicit sexual scenes."

Analogue-to-digital conversion[]

On August 11, 2011, 3½ weeks before the official August 31 date in which Canadian television stations in CRTC-designated mandatory markets transitioned from analogue to digital broadcasts,[4] the station flash cut its digital signal into operation on UHF channel 30. However, through the use of PSIP, digital television receivers display CKES-DT's virtual channel as 45.1.
