==History==
Shortly after the launch of Global in September 1997, newscast production moved to Montreal, to the TVA studios on Boulevard de Maisonneuve. 
In 2002, Global bought TVA's shares and moved its studios to the Dominion Square building. Still experiencing financial difficulties and not being authorized to sell local Montreal advertising, Canwest obtained approval from the CRTC in 2009 to rename the station from Global Quebec to Global Montreal and thus have access to local advertisements.
Canwest also owned the multicultural station CHMT Montreal in 2001 following their acquisition of the company WIC. Given their financial difficulties, Canwest obtained permission to broadcast English evening programming. CHMT-TV was primarily used to broadcast additional series from the Global network during scheduling conflicts in order to maintain their cable substitution rights on American networks.
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; however, it remained licensed to Quebec City, and its official main studio remained in Sainte-Foy. Over the course of the 2000s, Global cut back its presence in Quebec City and the Eastern Townships, leaving its Sherbrooke bureau unstaffed before closing it altogether in 2007. 
In 2009, the station changed its name from Global Quebec to Global Montreal at that time. CKMI's main production facilities and news operations then 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.
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.[41]
Since April 1, 2016, Shaw Media has been controlled by Corus Entertainment.
