A proud part of the Global Television Network, ITV was established in 1973 by Edmonton surgeon-turned-businessman, Dr. Charles Allard. An independent station created by individuals with new fresh ideas, ITV signed on in September 1974 with a schedule of bold and progressive programming.
On September 4th of 2000, Global Television welcomed ITV into its national broadcast entity, fulfilling founder Israel Asper's dream of creating a national television network.
Today, Global Edmonton is Edmonton's #1 News source leading the the market with 39 hours of award-winning local news programming each week.
