From The TV IV

Citytv is a system of five English language television stations in Canada, owned by Rogers Communications.

The stations (CITY in Toronto, CKVU in Vancouver, CHMI in Winnipeg, CKAL in Calgary and CKEM in Edmonton) are treated as independent stations which share common branding and some common programming, and not as a television network.

Moses Znaimer, head of CityTV for many years, once described the system's philosophy by saying, "It's not the show, it's the flow."
