CBKT is the television call sign for the CBC's television station in Regina, Saskatchewan. The station produces a nightly regional newscast, that airs at 6:30 p.m. as part of the "Canada Now" package. The Saskatchewan portion of the program is anchored by Costa Maragos and connects viewers with stories happening in Regina, Saskatoon, Swift Current, Yorkton and Prince Albert, making it the most comprehensive regional newscast in the province.
CBKT first went on the air in 1962 as privately-owned CTV affiliate CHRE, a rebroadcaster of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan station CHAB. In 1969, CBC bought CHRE and CHAB and rebranded the stations as CBKRT and CBKMT (now CBKT and CBKT-1), respectively; CKCK, the previous Regina CBC affiliate, switched to CTV upon the CBC's purchase of CHRE and CHAB.
In 2002, CBC purchased former privately-owned affiliates CJFB in Swift Current and CKOS in Yorkton, turning both into rebroadcasters of CBKT.
