With such a tremendous amount of gratitude toward the Canadian Communications Foundation, we have been granted the privilege of providing rare video on the Story of CKSO TV! We'll see and hear from the people who were there. We'll witness the construction of the building, and we'll learn of the vision and dedication of those who were successful in making CKSO TV the first privately owned television station in Canada, beating out such markets as London, Ontario. This special video presentation is being held in honour of our grand launch coming soon!
