CKMI-DT (channel 15) is a television station in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, part of the Global Television Network. Owned and operated by network parent Corus Entertainment, the station maintains studios inside the Dominion Square Building in downtown Montreal. Its primary transmitter is located atop Mount Royal, with rebroadcasters in Quebec City and Sherbrooke.

CKMI was established as the second television station for Quebec City in 1957. It was the only English-language station in the heavily francophone city and broadcast to a very small audience. In 1997, it was transformed into a regional Global station for Quebec with additional transmitters, including in Montreal.

History[edit]

MI-5 in Quebec City[edit]

The station launched on March 17, 1957, and was the second privately owned station in Quebec. It was licensed to Quebec City, and aired an analogue signal on VHF channel 5. CKMI was originally owned by Télévision de Québec, along with the province's first private station, CFCM-TV. The station's studios were located alongside CFCM's facilities in Sainte-Foy, then a suburb of Quebec City; CKMI and CFCM shared the same antenna, the first setup of its kind in the world for television.[2] Télévision de Québec was a consortium of cinema chain Famous Players and Quebec City's three privately owned radio stations, CHRC, CKCV and CJQC. It immediately became Quebec City's CBC Television affiliate, taking all English-language programming from CFCM. In 1964, following the opening of CBVT, CFCM disaffiliated from Radio-Canada (the French-language arm of the CBC) and joined the loose association of independent stations that evolved into TVA, while CKMI remained with CBC.

Télévision de Québec was nearly forced to sell its stations in 1969 due to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission's (CRTC) new rules requiring radio and television stations to be 80% Canadian-owned. The largest shareholder, Famous Players, was a subsidiary of American film studio Paramount Pictures. The CRTC had additionally denied a 1968 bid to sell CFCM and CKMI to Teltron Communications Ltd.; in 1970, the CRTC ordered Télévision de Québec to present a plan to come into compliance with the law or else it would take bids for new services to replace their stations.[3] As a result, Famous Players reduced its shares to 20 percent by selling off to three Quebec City firms, allowing Télévision de Québec to keep CKMI and CFCM.[4] The company renamed itself Télé-Capitale in 1974. CKMI and CFCM were bought by Pathonic in 1979, and then by Télé-Metropole (which changed its name to TVA) in 1989. For many years, CKMI was known on-air as "MI-5".

CKMI faced severe financial problems for much of its history as a CBC affiliate, in large part because the area's anglophone population was just barely large enough for the station to be viable as a privately owned CBC affiliate; Quebec City, unlike Montreal, is a virtually monolingual francophone city. In 1962, it was reported to be the most unprofitable station in the country in the context of a hearing on applications for new French-language stations.[5] For most of its first 40 years on the air, it stayed afloat only because of the revenues from CFCM, long the dominant station in Quebec City. Much of its viewership came from anglophone members of the National Assembly of Quebec and anglophone provincial government employees. For many years, its only newscast was a five-minute update, as its viewership was deemed too small to justify a full-fledged news department. The newscasts were sometimes pocked with gallicisms, reflecting the fact that the three employees of the CKMI news department, who produced the station's three hours a week of local output, were the only English speakers at CFCM-CKMI. There were so few viewers that one CRTC licence renewal hearing for the station was met with no public comment whatsoever.[6]

It began airing Global shows in the 1980s, and was picked up by most cable providers in Montreal as a result. By 1992, however, growing financial trouble forced CKMI to drop all non-CBC programming and become a de facto repeater of Montreal's CBC station, CBMT. It also carried CBMT's newscasts, though CKMI aired its own five-minute newscast, Inside Quebec, before CBMT's Newswatch on weeknights.

Becoming a Global station[edit]

On June 13, 1995, Télé-Métropole and CanWest Global Communications announced a plan that would transform CKMI from a mere rebroadcaster of CBC Montreal into the third major English-language TV service in the province, providing the first private competition to CFCF-TV. Under the plan, Télé-Métropole and CanWest would enter into a joint venture (known as TVA CanWest) that would own the station, and it would apply to build transmitters in Montreal and Sherbrooke.[7] Because of the nature of the Quebec City market and Montreal being one of Global's two major coverage gaps of the time (the other being Alberta, where it had affiliated stations), it was immediately evident that Montreal was the primary goal of the venture.[8]

Global had spent almost a quarter-century trying to get a transmitter in Montreal. When the network originally launched in 1974 as an Ontario-based network, original plans called for a transmitter in Maxville, near Cornwall. While it would have primarily served Hawkesbury, it would have provided a strong grade B signal to Montreal. However, the CRTC did not approve the Maxville transmitter with the others because it had previously issued a moratorium on new TV stations in Montreal.[9] One columnist noted that language and political considerations meant the CRTC would not entertain such a service before Montreal had three French-language TV stations.[10]

The TVA CanWest deal would take some time to be approved because of another proposed transaction. CFCF and Vidéotron had proposed an asset swap that would have given CFCF control of TVA and TQS while leaving all of Montreal's cable systems with the latter company, and the CRTC announced it wanted to hear that proposal first.[11] That logjam was resolved in April 1996, when Vidéotron acquired all of CFCF with an eye to spinning off its English-language holdings. It would not be until December of that year when the CRTC finally heard the CKMI application.[12] TVA CanWest pledged a commitment of $165 million over seven years on new Canadian programming to the regulator if it won in Quebec City and proposed new stations for Calgary and Edmonton.[12] Ahead of the hearings, CFCF vigorously fought the proposal, claiming any competition would reduce its value and jeopardize its community service initiatives; it called into question any pledge to produce regional programming, with CFCF weatherman Don McGowan noting that Quebec City was "where 42 anglophones live today".[13] A full-page newspaper ad from CFCF blasted the idea of Global being "allowed to slip through the back door" into Montreal, ominously threatening that it would mean "no more CFCF 12 as we know it".[14]

In November, the CRTC ruled against Global's Alberta stations bid.[15] At the hearing the next month, Izzy Asper took the CRTC to task, noting that English-speaking Montrealers were higher than average viewers of American stations available on cable.[16] The CRTC approved the CKMI Global bid on February 27, 1997; on the same day, it also approved Vidéotron's purchase of CFCF's business contingent on spinning off the English-language stations and TQS.[17]

Over the course of 1997, changes were made in preparation for the new station. In Quebec City, CKMI would move from channel 5 to 20, to permit the CBC to take over the channel 5 facility for CBVE-TV, a full-time repeater of CBMT.[a] The Montreal transmitter, originally assigned channel 67, was changed to 46.[20] The CanWest Global System announced that, with programs being broadcast into every province but Newfoundland, it would rename itself as the Global Television Network on a national basis.[21]

CKMI's Global makeover and full-time programming on the Sherbrooke and Montreal transmitters became a reality on September 14, 1997.[22] A number of popular US shows purchased by CFCF but to which Canadian rights were owned by CanWest moved from that station to CKMI. The Montreal rebroadcaster was criticized for poor reception a low effective radiated power: 4.85 kW, compared to 697 and 1,334 kW at the two other UHF stations in the city.[23] As a result, in April 1998, the effective radiated power was increased to 33,000 watts.[24] In 2002, Global bought out TVA's remaining interest in CKMI.

The station shifted most of its operations, as well as the focus of its news coverage, to Montreal soon after the launch of the Montreal transmitter. This made sense, since Montreal is home to almost three-fourths of Quebec's anglophones. It also began sending its signal to the Montreal transmitter first. However, it remained licensed to Quebec City, and its "official" main studio remained in Sainte-Foy. This changed in 2009, when the CRTC allowed CKMI to move its license to Montreal as well. However, as mentioned above, for all intents and purposes it has been a Montreal station since joining Global.

CKMI's financial situation has not improved much since joining Global, though in recent years it has waged a spirited battle with CBMT for second place behind long-dominant CTV station CFCF-DT (channel 12). It has been argued that the station's poor financial performance was due to limits on its advertising budget. From 1997 to 2009, it was officially classed as a "regional" station, and as such was not allowed to sell local advertising in Montreal. However, when the station moved its license to Montreal in 2009 (effectively making the Montreal rebroadcaster the station's primary transmitter), it gained local advertising rights in Montreal for the first time.[25] As it was now officially a Montreal station, it rebranded from "Global Quebec" to "Global Montreal". Despite this, CKMI remains the only English-language Montreal station that is unavailable to American cable viewers in northeast New York and northern New England. This is likely to protect the rights of stations in the Burlington, Vermont–Plattsburgh, New York market, as Global has long relied on American-produced programming.

As part of a number of cutbacks to Global operations across the country, Canwest closed the station's Sherbrooke bureau and halved the number of employees working at the Quebec City bureau in February 2008. Sherbrooke is now covered by reporters based at the Montreal and Quebec City bureaus. In 2009, CKMI's main production facilities and news operations relocated from a building shared with TVA on De Maisonneuve Boulevard East in Montreal to the Dominion Square Building, home of The Gazette, in Downtown Montreal. The station also aired programming from The Score such as WWE Raw until the fall of 2009.

On October 27, 2010, Shaw Communications completed its purchase of Canwest's television assets after Canwest had entered into creditor bankruptcy protection in late 2009. As a result, Canwest's television division became Shaw Media.[26]

News operation[edit]

CKMI-DT presently broadcasts 25 hours of locally produced newscasts each week (with 4½ hours each weekday, one hour on Saturdays and 1½ hours on Sundays); in regards to the number of hours devoted to news programming, it is the highest local newscast output out of any English-language television station in the Montreal market.

Global entered the Montreal news market in direct competition with CFCF and its highly-rated Pulse newscasts. Benoît Aubin of TVA was tapped as the first news director for Global in Quebec,[27] Heather Hiscox was the first anchor for Global's supper-hour local news, which aired at 5:30 p.m. to contrast with the 6 p.m. Pulse. Reflecting the regional architecture of CKMI, the station originally had four reporters in Quebec City and one in the Eastern Townships.[22] Mike Boone, television critic for the Montreal Gazette, criticized the newscast's lack of time for stories and felt that it was hampered by needing to provide regional stories not of much interest to Montreal.[28]

In December 1997, CKMI debuted a daily entertainment magazine, Global Tonight, hosted by Jamie Orchard.[29] However, in June, it axed those programs and its 11 p.m. news and sports programs, moving its evening news to 6 p.m. reallocating resources to the creation of a longform morning show.[30] The morning show, This Morning Live, debuted in 1998.[31]

Along with a number of other Global stations, Global Montreal introduced a virtual studio in 2008. The cameras, lighting and reports are remotely controlled (like other regional Global news studios) from Global's broadcast centre in Edmonton. A number of Montreal-based employees were made redundant with the introduction of this technology; however, most Global Montreal anchors were still based out of Montreal.

Meteorologist Anthony Farnell is no longer based in Montreal with CKMI, and presents weather forecasts remotely for CKMI from the studios of sister station CIII-TV in Toronto; other than Farnell, Global Montreal does not have any other meteorologists on-staff nor does it operate a sports department.

On August 29, 2011, Global Montreal began broadcasting their local newscasts in 16:9 widescreen standard definition. The station later switched to high definition broadcasts in February 2012. As part of Shaw Communications's offer to take over Canwest's television assets, Shaw promised to launch local morning newscasts on several Global stations, including CKMI. On January 28, 2013, CKMI-DT launched a three-hour weekday morning newscast, airing from 6:00 to 9:00 a.m.[32][33]

As of August 8, 2015, weekend newscasts are produced remotely from Toronto and were originally anchored by Kris Reyes.[34][35] Global Montreal also introduced a half-hour noon newscast,[34] and will extend its evening news to an hour.[36][37]

On June 22, 2016, long-time Global News Morning anchor, Camille Ross, announced her departure from the show. She officially left the show on June 23, 2016 to live in London, Ontario. The next week, on June 29, weather specialist Jessica Laventure announced her departure from the show to move to Punta Cana. Her final day was June 30. Laura Cassella was hired to replace Camille Ross and Kim Sullivan for Jessica Laventure.[38]

As of May 2017, Global Montreal's 5:30 p.m. supper-time newscast ranks 2nd in the Montreal English TV market with 28,000 viewers tuning in. This is compared to CTV Montreal's 189,000 viewers and CBC Montreal's 27,000 viewers.[39] Global's viewership numbers have risen significantly since 2011, where it was at the bottom of the ratings chart with only 6,900 viewers.[40]

In August 2020, evening anchor Jamie Orchard was laid off.[41] In September 2020, CKMI cancelled Focus Montreal and replaced Orchard with Tracy Tong, who anchors from a centralized news operation in Toronto.[42]

Current local news programs[edit]

  • Global News Morning – Global News Morning (formerly Morning News) in Montreal is aired from 6–9 a.m. on weekdays. The show is anchored by Laura Casella with Kim Sullivan as weather specialist. 8-minute national news segments, anchored by Jeff McArthur, are produced out of Toronto and are inserted into the show twice an hour. Anchor Camille Ross, who had been with the show since its launch in 2012, left the show on June 23, 2016. This was followed by the departure of original weather specialist Jessica Laventure, who left on June 30, 2016. It is the only news program that is actually presented from the Global Montreal studios.
  • Global News at Noon – Global News at Noon is Global Montreal's newest news program beginning to air in the fall of 2015. It airs from 12–12:30 p.m. on weekdays. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Montreal, as of March 2020, Global suspended local presentation of the News at Noon, and is currently simulcasting Global News at Noon from Global Toronto.
  • Global News at 5:30 and 6:30 – Originally titled Evening News and airing from 6–6:30 p.m., the show was extended from half an hour to one hour in the fall of 2015, starting at 5:30pm. In 2018, this was changed again; instead of a one-hour show from 5:30–6:30 p.m., the show was split into two half-hour broadcasts, one from 5:30–6 p.m. and the other from 6:30–7 p.m., with Global National airing in between. Global News at 5:30 and 6:30 is anchored by Tracy Tong from Global's news centre in Toronto. The newscast was previously presented from Montreal by Jamie Orchard. Since Global Montreal does not have an in-studio weather presenter, Global's Chief Meteorologist Anthony Farnell presents the weather out of Toronto. On the weekends, the program is called Global News at 6 (formerly Evening News) and is anchored by Mark Carcasole out of Toronto from 6–6:30 p.m.
  • Global News at 11 – Global News at 11 (formerly News Final) is aired from 11–11:35 p.m. on weekdays and weekends. Global News at 11 is presented out of Global's Toronto news centre and is anchored by Tracy Tong on weekdays and Mark Carcasole on weekends. In 2015, it was originally announced that News Final would be extended from half an hour to one hour to become News Hour Final. However, this was not possible due to Shaw picking up the broadcasting rights to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert which had to be simulcast starting at 11:35 p.m. To make up for this, Shaw extended the Evening News broadcast to one hour and added News at Noon as well.

Notable former on-air staff[edit]

Discontinued programming[edit]

This Morning Live[edit]

Main article: Global News Morning

After being rebranded as Global, the station aired a live 2½ hour (and subsequently three) hour weekday morning magazine program from Montreal called This Morning Live, hosted by Andrew Peplowski and Tracy McKee. It was aired in place of cartoons that aired weekend mornings on most Global stations, because Quebec provincial law requires children's programming to be shown commercial-free over the air on weekends. A side benefit of this was that it added enough Canadian content to the station's schedule that it could air American talk shows on weekday afternoons.

This Morning Live was last cancelled in late 2007 and the last program was broadcast on February 27, 2008. News Final, which had been off air due to low ratings since June 2006, but was brought back after This Morning Live was cancelled to help maintain the number of locally produced broadcast hours.

Global Tonight[edit]

An evening lifestyle program that suffered poor ratings and was succeeded by Global News @ 5:30.

QC Magazine[edit]

A weekly program covering the week's news in Quebec City; cancelled when the Quebec City bureau was scaled down in 2007.

Focus Montreal[edit]

A weekly news magazine featuring interviews with newsmakers. The program ran at various timeslots on the weekends. This was cancelled in September 2020, coinciding with the departure of its host, Jamie Orchard.
