'''CIVI-DT''' (channel 53) is a [[television station]] in [[Victoria, British Columbia]], Canada. Part of the [[CTV2]] system, it is [[owned and operated]] by [[Bell Media]] alongside [[Vancouver]]-based [[CTV Television Network|CTV]] station [[CIVT-DT]] (channel 32). Although the two stations nominally maintain separate operations, the Victoria station's newscasts have been produced from the CIVT-DT studios since 2023. CIVI-DT's offices are located at the corner of Broad Street and Pandora Avenue across from the [[McPherson Playhouse]] and the [[Victoria City Hall]] in [[downtown Victoria]], and its transmitter is located on the roof of Camosack Manor near [[Rockland, Greater Victoria|Rockland]]. The station operates a rebroadcaster ('''CIVI-DT-2''') on virtual and UHF channel 17 in Vancouver, with transmitter atop [[Mount Seymour]] in the district municipality of [[North Vancouver (district municipality)|North Vancouver]].

==History==
===As The New VI===
At the end of the 1990s, [[CHUM Limited]] only owned terrestrial television stations in the province of [[Ontario]]. Similarly, [[Craig Media]] only had stations in provinces within the [[Canadian Prairies]]. Both companies looked to expand their national presence, and both submitted a bid when the [[Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission]] (CRTC) issued a call for applications for a new television station licence in Victoria. CHUM was awarded the licence in 2000,<ref name="CRTC2000-219">{{cite web|url=https://crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2000/DB2000-219.htm|title=ARCHIVED - Decision CRTC 2000-219|date=July 6, 2000|publisher=[[Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission|CRTC]]|access-date=May 28, 2025}}</ref> and signed on CIVI on October 4, 2001, as the first original station to be part of the NewNet [[television system]]. The launch was a month behind the original schedule, and occurred amid a [[2001 Vancouver TV realignment|massive TV realignment in the Vancouver/Victoria market]]; the various changes also meant that CIVI displaced [[Bellingham, Washington]]'s [[KVOS-TV]] from its long-time home on channel 12 on many Vancouver-area cable systems.<ref>{{Cite web|date=May 14, 2001|first=Ian|last=Edwards|title=West Coast station shuffle causes confusion|url=https://playbackonline.ca/2001/05/14/stations-20010514/|access-date=January 23, 2022}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Canadian Communications Foundation - Fondation Des Communications Canadiennes|url=http://www.broadcasting-history.ca/listings_and_histories/television/histories.php?id=63&historyID=59|access-date=January 23, 2022|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20071107025723/http://www.broadcasting-history.ca/listings_and_histories/television/histories.php?id=63&historyID=59|archive-date = November 7, 2007}}</ref>

Much of the launch schedule consisted of programming from other CHUM outlets (including ''[[CityLine]]'', ''[[FashionTelevision]]'' and ''[[Ed the Sock|Ed the Sock's Night Party]]''), some of which had previously aired across the border on KVOS (which CHUM had been syndicating programming to since the 1990s in the face of repeated failures to launch a station in the area), along with American imported and syndicated programming (including ''[[The Tonight Show with Jay Leno]]'' and the ''[[Star Trek]]'' franchise), and a prime time movie on Sundays dubbed ''The Great MoVI'' (in the style of [[Citytv]]'s ''Great Movies'').<ref>{{Cite web|date=December 16, 2001|title=The New VI - Schedule Grid|url=http://thenewvi.com/schedule/viSh_schedule_grid.asp|access-date=January 23, 2022|url-status=usurped|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20011216023223/http://thenewvi.com/schedule/viSh_schedule_grid.asp|archive-date=December 16, 2001}}</ref>

The station struggled to compete against [[E! (Canadian TV system)|CH]] owned-and-operated station [[CHEK-TV]] (channel 6, now an [[independent station]]), which had been the only local station on Vancouver Island for more than four decades. Gradually, personalities from the original roster were replaced by new faces, and some were let go without replacements. Not long after launch, CHUM purchased [[CKVU-DT|CKVU]] in Vancouver and converted it into the Citytv station for the region, meaning CIVI became part of a [[twinstick]]; as per CRTC regulations regarding twinsticks, CKVU was prohibited from airing more than 10% of the programming aired on CIVI, and newscasts were required to be separately managed.

===As A-Channel Victoria===

Following CHUM's purchase of Craig Media's broadcasting assets in 2004, the station was rebranded as "A-Channel" on August 2, 2005, along with the rest of the NewNet system. (The station would have been part of the original [[A-Channel]] system at its launch had Craig Media won the licence in 2000.<ref name="CRTC2000-219"/>) On July 12, 2006, CTVglobemedia announced plans to purchase CHUM Limited, with the intention of divesting the A-Channel stations.<ref name=takeover>{{cite news|url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/bell-globemedia-makes-1-7b-bid-for-chum-1.583543|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110908083837/http://www.cbc.ca/news/story/2006/07/12/chum-bell.html|url-status=live|archive-date=September 8, 2011|title=Bell Globemedia makes $1.7B bid for CHUM|publisher=[[Canadian Broadcasting Corporation]]|date=July 12, 2006|access-date=July 12, 2006}}</ref> On that same day it was also announced that the morning news program ''[[A-Channel Morning]]'' would be discontinued, although this decision was supposedly unrelated to the takeover by CTVglobemedia (CIVI later restored a morning program to its schedule in the fall of 2007).

[[Rogers Communications]] announced a deal to buy A-Channel on April 9, 2007;<ref name=Rogers>{{cite news|url=http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/technology_rogers_ctvglobemedia |title=CRTC expected to OK Rogers' $137.5M buy of CTVglobemedia TV channels |publisher=[[Canadian Press]] via Yahoo!

===As A Vancouver Island===
[[File:CIVI 'A'.svg|thumb|150px|right|Logo for A Vancouver Island (2008–2011)]]
The A-Channel system and Atlantic Canada's [[CTV2 Atlantic|ASN]] were rebranded as A on August 11, 2008, with CIVI becoming "A Vancouver Island". As a result, CIVI's newscasts were rebranded as ''[[A News (TV program)|A News]]'' on that date, although the station's employees had been using that title for a couple of months prior to the relaunch; the station also began producing a morning newscast (under the title ''A Morning'') on September 8, 2008, but was later cancelled on March 4, 2009, due to economic issues. The program was later replaced with a simulcast of the morning show from sister radio station [[CFAX]] (1070 AM).<ref>[http://www.canada.com/victoriatimescolonist/news/business/story.html?id=f94f272f-93d4-4018-8f19-c5fe6473ed9e Morning TV show back on airwaves] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160107011003/http://www.canada.com/victoriatimescolonist/news/business/story.html?id=f94f272f-93d4-4018-8f19-c5fe6473ed9e |date=January 7, 2016 }}</ref><ref>[http://www.newswire.ca/en/releases/archive/June2008/02/c7178.html CNW Group | CTV INC. | Double Vision: Fall 2008 Schedules Announced for CTV and "A"<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.atv.ca/victoria/tvschedule.aspx?date=9-8-2008 |title=A Victoria website confirming 'A' Morning debut September 8th |access-date=September 8, 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090904002948/http://www.atv.ca/victoria/tvschedule.aspx?date=August |archive-date=September 4, 2009 }}</ref>

[[Bell Media]] announced on May 30, 2011, its intention to rebrand the A television stations to CTV Two that fall.<ref>{{cite press release|url=http://www.bellmediapr.ca/ctv/releases/release.asp?id=13828&yyyy=2011 |title=Bell Media's /A\ Network to Become "CTV Two" This Fall |publisher=Bell Media |date=May 30, 2011 |access-date=May 30, 2011 |archive-date=July 27, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110727114428/http://www.bellmediapr.ca/ctv/releases/release.asp?id=13828&yyyy=2011 |url-status=dead}}</ref> On August 29, 2011, CIVI became "CTV Two Vancouver Island", and its newscasts were rebranded as ''[[CTV News]].

==News operation==
{{Expand section|information on the history of CIVI's news operation|date=September 2011}}
CIVI presently broadcasts two hours and 30 minutes of original newscasts each week, consisting of a thirty-minute local newscast each weekday at 4:30&nbsp;p.m., anchored remotely from the Vancouver [[750 Burrard Street|studios]] of co-owned CIVT.<ref name="civi-430-launch">{{cite web|url=https://vancouverisland.ctvnews.ca/first-at-4-30-ctv-vancouver-island-launches-live-hyper-local-newscast-1.6442394|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230615175652/https://vancouverisland.ctvnews.ca/first-at-4-30-ctv-vancouver-island-launches-live-hyper-local-newscast-1.6442394|url-status=dead|archive-date=June 15, 2023|title=First at 4:30: CTV Vancouver Island launches live, hyper-local newscast|work=CTVNews.ca|date=June 15, 2023|access-date=June 16, 2023}}</ref> This newscast is repeated, potentially with minor modifications, at 6:00&nbsp;p.m. and 11:00&nbsp;p.m. (the latter being a 35-minute timeslot). There are no longer any weekend newscasts.

At launch, the station's newscast was dubbed ''VILand News'' (sister station [[CKVR]] had originally used a similar title, ''VRLand News'', for its first few years as a NewNet station); the station's news anchors walked around the studio instead of sitting behind a desk, mimicking the format used at Toronto [[sister station]] [[CITY-TV]] and other NewNet outlets. ''VILand News'' consisted of a 90-minute long evening newscast from 5:30 to 7:00&nbsp;p.m. and a half-hour late newscast at 11:00&nbsp;p.m., as well as the two-hour morning newscast ''New Day'' (initially broadcast from the station's Nanaimo facilities with Bruce Williams).<ref>{{Cite web|title=The New VI - NewDay|url=http://www.thenewvi.com/programs/viprg_newday.asp|url-status=usurped|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20011230125720/http://www.thenewvi.com/programs/viprg_newday.asp|archive-date=December 30, 2001|access-date=January 23, 2022}}</ref> Weatherman and local folk musician Tony Latimer delivered his forecasts from his own sailboat, the ''Forbes and Cameron'', which was equipped with an omni-directional microwave transmitter so he could broadcast from Victoria's Inner Harbour or other offshore locations.<ref>{{Cite web|date=April 2, 2002|title=The New VI - Personalities|url=http://www.thenewvi.com/personalities/viP_latimer.asp|access-date=January 23, 2022|url-status=usurped|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020402000538/http://www.thenewvi.com/personalities/viP_latimer.asp|archive-date=April 2, 2002}}</ref>

To combat the station's low ratings, the evening news block was also repeatedly modified, being split into three different shows (''VILand Live'' at 5:30, ''VILand Voices'' at 6:00 and ''VILand News'' at 6:30) in January 2002.<ref>{{Citation|title=VILand Live at 5:30 - Opening 2002| date=August 12, 2011 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHolVz_84fE|language=en|access-date=January 23, 2022}}</ref><ref>{{Citation|title=VILand Voices - Open 2002| date=August 12, 2011 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGvx3nEpuMU|language=en|access-date=January 23, 2022}}</ref><ref>{{Citation|title=VILandNews - Open 2002| date=August 12, 2011 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReLOcBH-caY|language=en|access-date=January 23, 2022}}</ref> In hopes of stemming the station's financial losses and low ratings, CHUM let go 29 employees in July 2004,<ref>{{cite web|title=CHUM cuts 29 staff in Victoria|url=https://playbackonline.ca/2004/07/19/chumvictoria-20040719/|accessdate=May 28, 2025|publisher=[[Playback (magazine)|Playback]]|first=Ian |last=Edwards |date=July 19, 2004 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=New VI Massacre All Too Familiar|url=https://thetyee.ca/Mediacheck/2004/07/12/New_VI_Massacre_All_Too_Familiar/|accessdate=May 3, 2025|publisher=[[The Tyee]]|first=Adrian |last=Dix |author-link=Adrian Dix |date=July 12, 2004 }}</ref> and hired longtime CHEK anchor Hudson Mack as its new chief anchor and [[news director]].<ref name="Playback041108">{{cite web|title=The New VI gets older|url=https://playbackonline.ca/2004/11/08/vi-20041108/|accessdate=May 28, 2025|publisher=[[Playback (magazine)|Playback]]|first=Ian |last=Edwards |date=November 8, 2004 }}</ref> The station's newscasts were re-formatted to target an older demographic,<ref name="Playback041108"/> including a re-brand to ''VI News'' and the introduction of a desk for the anchors. The changes appeared to have been effective;<ref name=":0" /> while still trailing CHEK, the ratings gap between the two had narrowed.

Since Mack's arrival, the station has been honoured with a number of industry awards. In 2006, it received three [[RTDNA Edward R. Murrow Award|Edward R. Murrow Awards]] from the [[Radio-Television News Directors Association]] International, for Best Newscast, Best Investigative Reporting and Best Sports Reporting. It was the second straight year the station won Murrows for its newscast and investigative reporting. In 2005, the station won eight industry awards, including two Edward R. Murrow Awards from RTNDA International, for Best Newscast and Best Investigative Reporting; and top news honours from the British Columbia Association of Broadcasters.

The station's weekend 6:00&nbsp;p.m. newscasts were cancelled as of February 3, 2021, due to budget cuts made by Bell Media.<ref>{{cite tweet|number=1357065076834881536|user=AlannaKellyNews|title=As for the weekend coverage, I'm...|date=February 3, 2021}}</ref> In the wake of further cuts announced by Bell in 2023, the station replaced its early-evening newscasts with a single half-hour 4:30&nbsp;p.m. newscast (repeated at 6:00&nbsp;p.m.) on weekdays, anchored from Vancouver, effective June 19.<ref name="civi-430-launch" /> The ''[[Times Colonist]]'' reported that this was the station's only remaining daily newscast.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.timescolonist.com/entertainment/tv-in-greater-victoria-continues-to-evolve-with-chek-emerging-triumphant-7230679|title=TV in Greater Victoria continues to evolve, with CHEK emerging triumphant|first=Mike|last=Devlin|work=[[Times Colonist]]|date=July 4, 2023|access-date=July 4, 2023}}</ref>
