CFRE-DT (channel 11) is a television station in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, part of the Global Television Network. The station is owned and operated by network parent Corus Entertainment and maintains studios on Hoffer Drive and McDonald Street on the northeast side of Regina; its transmitter is located near Louis Riel Trail/Highway 11, northwest of the city.
CFRE-DT and CFSK-DT (channel 4) in Saskatoon were authorized and built together, signing on September 6, 1987, after a multi-year licensing process prolonged by the federal cabinet's unusual decision to remand a decision of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission for reconsideration. The two stations, owned by CanWest, were known as STV and had identical non-local programming, with split local news for each city. In 1997, when the CanWest Global System was transformed into the present Global Television Network, the STV brand was dropped in favor of Global. Global Regina airs a three-hour local morning newscast as well as 90 minutes of local evening news, which is presented from studios in Winnipeg using a Regina-based production staff.
