Founded in June 30, 1973, '''Access''' was owned by the Alberta Educational Communications Corporation, which also operated CKUA Radio. Prior to this point, English-language educational programs were aired on Radio-Canada's TV station CBXFT, in Edmonton. For its first decade, Access was only available through cable, and did not broadcast over the air. It competed with PBS station KSPS-TV in Spokane, that was available on cable in most of the province. It was later renamed to CTV 2 Alberta in August 29, 2011. |
