Analog-to-digital conversion
CITY-TV launched a test transmission of its digital signal using the ATSC DTV standard on January 16, 2003, and began regular digital transmission a month and a half later on March 3, becoming the first station in Canada to operate a digital television signal. CITY-TV shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 57, on August 31, 2011, the date on which Canadian television stations in CRTC-designated mandatory marketstransitioned from analog to digital broadcasts. The station's digital signal relocated from its pre-transition UHF channel 53 to its post-transition UHF channel 44, using virtual channel 57. It is now broadcasting on RF channel 18 while still using the same virtual channel.
