CKX-TV is a now-defunct Canadian local station located in Brandon, Manitoba. It broadcast on analog VHF channel 5 with a digital channel allocation of 49 (which never went on the air prior to the station's shutdown). It was primarily affiliated with CBC Television throughout its existence, and it later had a secondary affiliation with CHUM Limited's NewNet/A-Channel system (which later became A, now CTV 2, under the ownership of what is now Bell Media). The station was closed by owner CTV Inc. on October 2, 2009 following their supper-hour newscast at 6 p.m., after a planned sale of the station to Bluepoint Investment Corporation fell through.
