"CBUT is the CBC's television station in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and the flagship CBC Television station for the Pacific Time Zone. The station transmits its main terrestrial signal from a tower atop Mount Seymour.
As of February 19, 2007, CBUT returned to an hour-long local newscast with the debut of a local edition of CBC News at Six, retaining the Canada Now name and hosted by former national Canada Now hosts Ian Hanomansing and Gloria Macarenko; in past years, the supper hour newscast (which was fully local until the introduction of the national Canada Now) was known as Hourglass, Newscentre, CBC Evening News and Broadcast One. In July 2007, the newscast was renamed as CBC News: Vancouver.
CBUT also currently produces a number of CBC Television programs. Portions of Marketplace are produced at CBUT, as were portions of the program Hemispheres, the now-cancelled national version of Canada Now and the late-night independent film program ZeD.
In addition to British Columbia, CBUT has a significant American audience in Washington state. It is available over the air in Bellingham. Nearly one million Comcast cable subscribers in the Puget Sound region can receive CBUT's programming. Comcast's Puget Sound system also began offering the digital version of CBUT, offering CBC HD programming, in 2009.
The station broadcasts from the CBC Regional Broadcast Centre on Hamilton Street in Downtown Vancouver." (
