Global Edmonton originally hit the airwaves as ITV. The station was established in 1973 by Edmonton surgeon-turned-businessman, Dr. Charles Allard. ITV was defined as an independent television station, created by individuals with fresh, new ideas. ITV signed on in September 1974 with a schedule of bold and progressive programming.
On September 4, 2000, the Global Television Network welcomed ITV into its national broadcast entity, fulfilling founder Israel Asper’s dream of creating a national television network. The legendary ITV brand was retired.
Today, Global Edmonton leads the market with 39 hours of award-winning local news programming each week.
