'''CJCB-DT''' (channel 4) is a repeater [[television station]] in [[Sydney, Nova Scotia]], Canada, [[owned and operated]] by the [[CTV Television Network]], a division of [[Bell Media]]. The station's transmitter is located in [[Blacketts Lake]] southwest of the city. It operated a TV studio in Sydney from 1954 until 2021, with all production and master control work now done in [[Halifax, Nova Scotia|Halifax]] at [[CJCH-DT]].

On August 1, 2012, CJCB-DT—at the time known as '''CJCB-TV'''—became the only terrestrial broadcaster in the market. [[CBC Television|CBC]] repeater station, [[CBHT-DT#CBIT-TV|CBIT-TV]], was closed the previous evening. CJCB-TV became CJCB-DT in January 2022 when it switched to digital broadcasting.

CJCB-DT is part of the [[CTV Atlantic]] [[television system|regional system]] in [[the Maritimes]], carrying the same programming as sister station CJCH-DT at all times, except for some commercials and an annual [[telethon]]. ''Mass for Shut-ins'' is the last original program still associated with the station that is still broadcasting. Currently, it is a two-person news bureau covering [[Cape Breton Island]] for [[CTV News]].

===Facilities===
CJCB-TV maintained offices, studios and the main transmitter tower at 1283 [[Nova Scotia Trunk 22|George Street]] in Sydney since it opened in 1954. It was the last of the three ATV stations to get colour production equipment. The station fully converted to NTSC [[color television|colour]] production in 1975, though it was able to transmit colour programming originated through the network starting in September 1966.<ref name ="ATV Network">{{cite web|last = Dulmage|first = Bill|title = CJCH-DT, CTV, Halifax

''Shantytown'' was another TV program that originated at CJCB-TV; it was aimed at children and ran from 1978 to 1984. Like ''Mass for Shut-ins'', it was also telecast to all three Maritime provinces.

Local broadcaster, and occasional CBC-TV ''[[Front Page Challenge]]'' panelist, Anne Terry, worked on many programs from the station's debut, until she left broadcasting in August 1972. She was known for hosting "women's feature" and interview programs at CJCB.<ref name = "Anne Terry">{{cite news | title = Leaves radio, TV for tourism| work = [[The Ottawa Journal]]| agency = The Canadian Press| page = 40| date = June 22, 1972| url = https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-ottawa-journal-leaves-radio-tv-for/149662915/| access-date = June 17, 2024 | via = Newspapers.com}}</ref>

CJCB had an evening weekday newscast until 1980, when all newscasts were centralized at ATV's studios in Halifax.<ref name="ATV Network" /> Until the pandemic, the CJCB studio was used for filing reports from the various reporters that worked on Cape Breton stories. When Bell Media closed the Sydney studio, in 2021, it only had two reporters remaining. Bell went through many rounds of layoffs in January and February 2024, and that caused CTV Sydney to lose reporter Kyle Moore. The remaining reporter is Ryan MacDonald, and a producer.<ref name = "Layoffs 2024">{{cite news| author = Post Staff| title = REPORT: CTV reporter in Cape Breton among Bell layoffs this week| work = Cape Breton Post| location = Sydney, Nova Scotia | publisher = SaltWire | date = February 9, 2024| url = https://www.saltwire.com/atlantic-canada/business/report-ctv-reporter-in-cape-breton-among-bell-layoffs-this-week-100937327/| access-date  = June 19, 2024| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20240212021014/https://www.saltwire.com/atlantic-canada/business/report-ctv-reporter-in-cape-breton-among-bell-layoffs-this-week-100937327/| archive-date = February 12, 2024| url-status = live| url-access = subscription }}</ref>

The station originally operated CJCB-TV-4 (channel 2) in New Glasgow, until that transmitter closed in late 2010. The transmitter was closed down for years, as the area was also being served by the CJCB-TV-2 transmitter in nearby Antigonish.<ref name = "CRTC decision 2011-231">{{cite web| author = CRTC Staff| date = April 6, 2011| title = Broadcasting Information Bulletin CRTC 2011-231: Applications processed pursuant to streamlined procedures| location = Ottawa| publisher = Queen's Printer for Canada| url = https://crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2011/2011-231.htm| access-date = June 18, 2024| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20230127041147/https://crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2011/2011-231.htm| archive-date= January 27, 2023| url-status  = live | quote = Information about the transmitter already being non-operational can be found in this link as a download of a PDF version of CRTC correspondence 2010-1813-5}}</ref>

During the CRTC's licence renewal period in 2016, Bell Media applied for its regular license renewals, which included applications to delete 40 rebroadcast transmitters, including CJCB-TV-5. Bell Media's rationale for deleting these analog repeaters was they were costly to operate and maintain; they did not generate much revenue; and viewers mostly had [[Satellite television|direct-to-home satellite]] subscriptions that carried these same signals.<ref name = "CRTC decision 2017-149">

On July 30, 2019, Bell Media was granted permission to close down an additional transmitter as part of Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2019–268. The transmitter for CJCB-TV-3 was shut down in 2021.<ref name = "CRTC decision 2019-268">{{cite web| author = CRTC Staff| date = July 30, 2019| title = Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2019-268: Bell Media Inc. – Deletion of transmitters| publisher = Queen's Printer for Canada| url = https://crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2019/2019-268.htm| access-date = June 18, 2024| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20231004040100/https://crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2019/2019-268.htm| archive-date= October 4, 2023| url-status = live}}</ref>
