local programming, and rebranded its newscasts from CFJC TV7 News to simply CFJC News, in line with the Canwest-owned E! stations elsewhere in the country. The 2006 affiliation switch had left CBC Television solely dependent on cable and satellite carriage of its Vancouver station CBUT in the market, with no new terrestrial transmitters being installed in the Kamloops area. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation indicated it had not budgeted for this scenario and therefore could not afford to replace the transmitters, as it has done in most cases in years past when private affiliates left the network. Most other stations from which the transmitters have been replaced became owned-and-operated stations, while CFJC remained independently owned. The CBC later announced that the transmitters of Jim Pattison's two other former CBC affiliates that switched to E!, CKPG-TV in Prince George and CHAT-TV in Medicine Hat, would not be replaced, and no transmitters were scheduled to be installed for the future in these areas. All three areas ended up being served by other television networks. However, despite a limited Francophone population in the absence of an Anglophone network, Radio-Canada station CBUFT out of Vancouver was available over-the-air in Kamloops and Prince George, and CBUFT sister station CBXFT out of Edmonton was available in Medicine Hat until CBC shut down its rebroadcast transmitters in 2012. On July 14, 2009, Pattison announced that CFJC and its other E! affiliates would begin receiving programming from Rogers Media's Citytv system starting September 1; CFJC and CKPG would also become part of a new regional sales initiative known as "inTV". Canwest had previously announced it would sell or close its E! stations, leaving the Pattison stations without a programming source. On May 3, 2012, Rogers announced that it renewed the Citytv affiliation agreements with the Jim Pattison Group, which were originally slated to expire that August; under the agreement, CKPG largely became a semi-satellite of CKVU-DT, broadcasting the majority of its programming in pattern with the Vancouver O&O (including Breakfast Television), but opting out for locally produced midday and evening newscasts. News operation CFJC-TV broadcasts 10 hours of locally produced newscasts each week (two hours each weekday); there are no newscasts on Saturdays or Sundays. On May 18, 2012, CFJC-TV began broadcasting its local newscasts in high definition. Transmitters CFJC-TV has eight rebroadcast transmitters serving outlying communities in the mountainous region.
