CKBI-TV is a now-defunct Canadian local station in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. It broadcast on VHF channel 5. It had been a privately-owned affiliate of CBC Television from its establishment in 1958 until the station ceased operations on October 27, 2002, when it was sold to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation to become a repeater for Saskatoon station CBKST, using the call sign CBKST-9 (which, along with CBKST and all of its other rebroadcasters, were shut down by the CBC on July 31, 2012 as part of budget cuts). CBC Television service in CKBI's former viewing area is now provided by Regina station CBKT-DT via cable and satellite.
