Page "CFCF-DT" Paragraph 18

With the exception of local newscasts, which all CTV stations have, CFCF's program schedule is identical to every other CTV station.

On October 3, 2005, the unique " CFCF " name used for the station ID and its local news, CFCF News ( formerly known as Pulse News until the Bell Globemedia purchase ), was abolished and simply renamed " CTV " and " CTV News ".

So strong was the " Pulse " brand-name that even years after it was eliminated, many viewers still refer to the newscast as " Pulse ".

This renaming to " CTV News " was done at all affiliates across the country — to provide a common brand for the entire network.

In 2003, CTV Montreal moved to 1205 Papineau Avenue in the eastern part of downtown, and the master control operations were moved to 9 Channel Nine Court, the home of CTV flagship CFTO-TV in Toronto.

By this situation, Montreal's CFCF-TV overtook Vancouver's CIVT-TV ( now CIVT-DT ) to become the largest market with a CTV O & O station studios located in a downtown area ( Toronto's CFTO-TV / DT had been staying in the same studios in Toronto's Scarborough borough since its inception ).

The area has now become Montreal's ( and French Canada's ) main media district ; CBC, Global, RDS, V and TVA are all within several blocks.
