In 2002, CTV sold CKBI-TV and CKOS-TV to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, which converted both to rebroadcasters of Regina CBC station CBKT, and surrendered both of the old call signs, with CKOS's call sign changed to CBKT-6. These translators would close on July 31, 2012, due to budget cuts affecting the CBC.
