Media distribution company Stingray has announced the closure of two television station in Lloydminster, AB: CITL-TV and CKSA-TV. These were the company’s only conventional television stations. Stingray cited declining viewership and revenue as the primary reason for the decision.
“This difficult decision to cease our television operations in Lloydminster was made after prolonged consideration and thorough exploration of alternative possibilities for the properties, including ownership transfer to other broadcasters,” said Steve Jones, president of Stingray Radio. “We wish to recognize the dedication and perseverance of the staff of CITL/CKSA whose commitment and passion for television have informed and entertained their community. We also sincerely thank our viewers, our community partners, and our advertisers.”
