'''CKLT-DT''' (channel 9) is a [[television station]] in [[Saint John, New Brunswick]], Canada, [[owned and operated]] by the [[CTV Television Network]], a division of [[Bell Media]]. The station has studios on Brunswick Square in Saint John, and its transmitter is located near Whitaker Lake in [[Petersville Parish, New Brunswick|Petersville]]. It also operates [[analog television|analogue]] rebroadcast transmitters in [[Woodstock, New Brunswick|Woodstock]] and [[Boiestown, New Brunswick|Boiestown]].

CKLT-DT is part of the [[CTV Atlantic]] [[television system|regional system]] in [[The Maritimes]]. Although separately licensed, the station (along with its two rebroadcasters) is considered a full-time [[broadcast relay station#Satellite stations|satellite]] of [[CKCW-DT]] in [[Moncton]]. [[Master control]] and most internal operations are based at CKCW's studios on Halifax and George Streets in Moncton.

Its programming is the same as that of CTV Atlantic [[flagship (broadcasting)|flagship]] [[CJCH-DT]] in [[Halifax, Nova Scotia]], with commercials provided from Moncton.

==History==
CKLT signed on for the first time on September 21, 1969, owned by Moncton Broadcasting along with CKCW-TV. As part of a complex realignment of television affiliations in the Maritimes, Saint John's original station, CHSJ-TV (now [[CBAT-DT]]) set up a translator in Moncton, enabling CKCW-TV to switch to CTV. [[CHUM Limited]] bought CKCW-TV and CKLT-TV in 1972 and merged them into the Atlantic Television System (ATV) later that year. Along with the rest of the ATV stations, it was sold to [[Baton Broadcast System|Baton Broadcasting]] on February 26, 1997<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://variety.com/1997/scene/vpage/baton-picks-up-ctv-web-1117435715/|title = Baton picks up CTV web|date = February 27, 1997}}</ref> (with CRTC approval given on August 28, 1997<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/1997/DB97-527.HTM|title=Archived - Decision CRTC 97-527, Approval of applications by Baton Broadcasting Incorporated and certain of its subsidiaries, CHUM Limited, and CTV Television Network LTD.
