The original CityTV, founded in Toronto in 1972, is best known for its unconventional approach to news and local programming. With a lack of a news desk (anchors read the news standing up) and laid-back, hard-hitting presentation, CityTV has developed a following, and other stations have tried to imitate its format to varying degrees of success.
Moses Znaimer[?], head of CityTV for many years, once described the station's philosophy by saying, "It's not the show, it's the flow."
CityTV also produces more local programs than any other television station in Canada, such as Speaker's Corner[?], CityLine[?] and Fashion Television[?].
CityTV, which launched a second station in Vancouver when it bought the former UTV[?] from Global in 2001, is owned by the CHUM[?] group.
