Ici Radio Canada Télé station in Saguenay, Quebec

CKTV DT, virtual and VHF digital channel 12, branded on air as ICI Saguenay–Lac Saint Jean, is an Ici Radio Canada Télé owned and operated station licensed to Saguenay, Quebec, Canada and serving the Saguenay–Lac Saint Jean region. The station is owned by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (known in French as Société Radio Canada). CKTV DT's studios are located on Rue des Saguenéens in the former city of Chicoutimi adjacent the Place du Royaume shopping centre, and its transmitter is located atop Mount Valin. On cable, the station is available on Vidéotron channel 2 and in high definition on digital channel 602.

The station first aired on December 1, 1955 as CKRS TV. It was originally owned by Radio Saguenay along with CKRS radio. It joined Radio Canada's microwave network on October 28, 1957. Radio Saguenay sold off its radio station in 1981, but kept CKRS TV until selling it to Cogeco on November 24, 1998. Cogeco adopted the current callsign the following year, on March 26, 1999. Shortly thereafter, Cogeco acquired control of TQS, to which Cogeco contributed its existing local stations. Radio Canada took editorial control of the station's news programming in 2002. In September 2007, Radio Canada announced that it would not renew its affiliation agreement with its three Cogeco owned affiliates — CKTV, CKTM in Trois Rivières and CKSH in Sherbrooke — after their then current agreement expired in August 2008. An application to directly acquire the stations was filed by Radio Canada on April 25, 2008, concurrently with Cogeco's proposed sale of TQS to Remstar. The transaction was approved by the CRTC on June 26, 2008. Prior to the 2002 municipal amalgamations, the station's city of license was Jonquière, which is now a borough of Saguenay. Prior to 2010, the station's studios were based there alongside former sister station CFRS TV, while its transmitter has been retained atop Mount Valin. Soon after Radio Canada bought the station, the network announced its plans to increase local programming and to move CKTV to an integrated production centre in the new Chicoutimi studios adjacent the Place du Royaume shopping centre, alongside its radio sisters, CBJ FM and CBJX FM. CKTV was previously rebroadcast on CKTV TV 1 channel 27 in St Fulgence; however, this translator ceased operations by November 2011.

During the 1980s, CKTV was also a brand name used by CTV affiliate CKCK TV in Regina, Saskatchewan. CKTV was also originally assigned as the call sign for a station in Victoria, British Columbia, which changed its call sign to CHEK TV before it signed on in 1956.
