List of United States television stations available in Canada
This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2012) |
This article lists all of the local over-the-air television stations in the United States that are carried in Canada via cable/digital cable or satellite. This list also includes stations that were formerly carried, but have since been dropped. Some of the stations listed also have their over-the-air signal overlapping major cities in Canada; a few are also available over-the-air only in Canada.
The stations are organized by market, starting in the east (Maine) and ending in the west (California). Not all stations are available in all areas. A station that has the word "bumped" next to it means that the station has been replaced by one of the stations from the CANCOM services, most likely either a Buffalo or Detroit local station in the east, or a Spokane or Seattle local station in the west.
American over-the-air services distributed locally
[edit]These channels appear on certain cable systems in Canada. However, the CRTC has not authorized their distribution outside of the areas in which these channels can be picked up over-the-air; hence, they are not available for national distribution. There are other American stations available in Canada near the American border, but they are only available over-the-air and are not carried on any cable system.

Watertown, New York | WWNY-TV | CBS | Yes | Carried in Kingston-Brockville, where it is easily available over-the-air.

More-distant Syracuse and (later) Buffalo signals are distributed by Kingston's Cogeco cable system instead of the more local Watertown affiliate. |
Watertown, New York | WPBS-TV | PBS | Yes | Carried in Ottawa and Pembroke (via WNPI-TV), Kingston directly (as WPBS-TV). Digital subchannels (Create/ThinkBright, PBS-HD) not carried by cable operators but readily available over-the-air in Kingston. |

Syracuse, New York | WCNY-TV | PBS | No | Intermittently viewable over-the-air in the Kingston-Watertown, New York market but notable by its absence from cable systems, which instead carry WPBS-TV (for Kingston and Ottawa) or WTVS-TV PBS Detroit (for Brockville, Ontario). |
