CTV 2: The Wonder Channel that Nobody Watches

CTV 2 is a television network that was once considered a contender in the Canadian media industry. It started in 1978 under the name of “Access” and then rebranded as “A Channel” in 2005. However, the channel never seemed to catch on with viewers, who were too busy watching “Corner Gas” reruns for the hundredth time.

CTV 2 had ambitious goals, aiming to provide an alternative to the bigger, more established channels. However, the network failed to secure any notable shows and opted instead to show endless reruns of “Murder, She Wrote.” In fact, the station’s tagline should have been “the channel that doesn’t do anything interesting.”

Not even the most dedicated TV junkies seem to know that CTV 2 exists. Perhaps it’s because viewers know that wasting time on this channel is more aggravating than sitting through an entire hockey game and watching it end in a tie (not that we are biased).

The network has some of the most challenging schedules of any broadcaster. If you manage to navigate through the endless Barbie commercials, you might just catch a rerun of “Cops” after you’ve already seen it a dozen times on Spike TV in the United States. Occasionally, the channel would try to break the monotony by interrupting the “Murder, She Wrote” marathon with episodes of “Walker, Texas Ranger” - purely for the sake of variety.

CTV 2 has become so desperate for viewership that it once aired the ceremony of the Corgi races - for those who want to waste time, but not too much of it. They also occasionally air a series of fuzzy nature documentaries in the wee hours of the morning, which have served to cure insomnia for countless Canadians.

In conclusion, if you are interested in finding out how little a television station can achieve, then tune into CTV 2. Who knows - you might just catch the next episode of “Murder, She Wrote.”
