Rogers Communications operates a community channel, Rogers TV, in Prince George. Rogers also carries Vancouver CBC Television station CBUT-DT to all subscribers, following CKPG-TV's disaffiliation from the CBC network, which left the community with no local CBC Television transmitter, as well as Radio-Canada station CBUFT-DT, whose repeater closed down on July 31, 2012. The Prince George area does not receive CBC Television, Ici Radio-Canada Télé, or CTV over the air.
Publications
[edit]Prince George has one main newspaper, a weekly published on Thursday, the Prince George Citizen,[1] winner of the 2006 Michener Award,[2] which appears Tuesday through Saturday. The Prince George Free Press which appeared on Wednesday and Friday, ceased publication on May 1, 2015. Over the Edge publishes student-based content out of the University of Northern British Columbia every other week from September to March, and offers online content throughout the rest of the year. There is also a café newsletter, PG Xpress (weekly). Prince George also has two advertising publications, the Prince George Buy & Sell and the Prince George Bargain Finder.
