CTV Atlantic
CTV Atlantic (formerly known as the Atlantic Television System, or ATV) is a system of four television stations in the Maritimes, owned and operated by the CTV Television Network, a division of Bell Media. Despite the name, it is not available on basic cable or analog in Newfoundland and Labrador even though that province is part of Atlantic Canada.

The CTV Atlantic stations are:
- CJCH-DT – Halifax, Nova Scotia (flagship station)
- CJCB-DT – Sydney, Nova Scotia
- CKCW-DT – Moncton, New Brunswick/Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island
- CKLT-DT – Saint John, New Brunswick
All four stations refer to themselves on air as CTV, not by their call letters. CJCB and CKCW simulcast CJCH for most of the day, but air separate commercials and local telethons. CKLT is a full repeater of CKCW. However, all four stations are separately licensed by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). Station information and history is discussed in each station's own article.
