CKVR-TV at AllExperts (451 words)
Prior to the A-Channel rebranding, CKVR's emphasis was on Barrie, Simcoe County and Muskoka.
It was a longtime CBC affiliate, for forty years from its inception in 1955 to 1995, after which it was disaffiliated and rebranded by CHUM as The New VR.
In February 2005, CHUM announced plans to consolidate the master control departments for CKVR, CFPL, CHRO, CHWI and CKNX in the CHUM-City Building in Toronto, as well as consolidating the traffic and programming departments at CFPL in London, resulting in the loss of approximately 9 staff members from CKVR.
