CFQC is a Canadian television station, serving Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The station is a CTV Television Network affiliate.
CFQC signed on the air in December, 1954, owned by the Murphy Family along with CFQC Radio. Initially a CBC affiliate, it started airing CTV programming in 1969, and became a full-time CTV affiliate in 1971 when the CBC put CBKST on the air.
In 1972 the station was purchased by Baton Broadcasting, owners of CTV flagship station CFTO Toronto. In 1986, Baton purchased stations in Regina, Yorkton, and Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, and eventually combined their operations with CFQC. Today, the station is owned and operated by CTV, Inc., a division of Bell Globemedia. In the past, it has identified itself as CFQC, TV8, and QC8, but today is known just as CTV.
The station also has rebroadcast transmitters in Stranraer and North Battleford.
