List of CBC television stations

CBC Television is a Canadian English language television network made up of fourteen owned-and-operated stations and one private affiliate. This is a table listing of CBC Television's stations, with CBC-owned stations separated from privately owned affiliates, and arranged by market. This article also includes former self-supporting stations later operating as rebroadcasters of regional affiliates, stations no longer affiliated with CBC Television and stations purchased by the CBC that formerly operated as private CBC Television affiliates.

The station's virtual channel number (if applicable) follows the call letters. The number in parentheses which follows is the station's actual digital channel number, digital channels allocated for future use listed in parentheses are italicized.

CBC Television's O&Os operate for the most part as a seamless national service, with few deviations from the national schedule. The one remaining affiliate, CKSA-DT Lloydminster, also currently carries the vast majority of network programming.

Since September 2014, all CBC Television O&Os have also been separately affiliated with the temporary and (since April 2015) permanent part-time networks operated by Rogers Media for the purposes of distributing the Rogers-produced Hockey Night in Canada broadcasts. This was required by the CRTC as, under the current arrangement for National Hockey League rights between Rogers and the CBC, Rogers exercises editorial control and sells all advertising time during the HNIC broadcasts,[1] even though for promotional purposes they are still treated as part of the CBC Television schedule. Although the CRTC decision which approved the permanent network only referred to stations owned by the CBC itself, CBC Television's private affiliates have also continued to carry the Rogers-produced HNIC broadcasts.

Notes:
1) Two boldface asterisks appearing following a station's call letters (**) indicate a station that was built and signed-on by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation;
2) Italicized channel numbers indicate a digital channel allocated for future use by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission.
