CFKL-TV was a television station based inSchefferville,Quebec,Canada. Formerly a private affiliate ofCBC Television andTélévision de Radio-Canada, the station was acquired by theCanadian Broadcasting Corporation in 1973 and converted to a rebroadcaster ofMontreal'sCBMT.
The station was owned by theIron Ore Company of Canada's Aviation subsidiary, and was co-owned with nearby stationCJCL-TV inLabrador City.
CFKL aired a schedule consisting of 73 per cent English programming and 27 per cent French programming. Although privately owned, all shows aired were from CBC and Radio-Canada, with none of its shows being local.
On July 28, 1970, the licences for the two stations were renewed for only two years. The Iron Ore Company of Canada Aviation, Limited was considered ineligible to hold abroadcasttelevision station license, as 60 per cent of the company's shares were owned byAmerican companies. Since it was considered very unlikely another company would be willing to buy these stations, their licenses were renewed temporarily under the existing ownership.
TheCanadian Broadcasting Corporation was given approval to purchase CJCL-TV and CFKL-TV on March 30, 1973. CJCL changed its call letters toCBNLT and continued to operate as a separate station until 1991, when it became a satellite ofCBNT inSt. John's, while CFKL became CBSET-1, a repeater ofSept-Îles' CBSET, which, in turn, was a semi-satellite of Montreal's CBMT. As of July 31, 2012, both CBNLT and CBSET-1 have shut down due to austerity measures implemented at the CBC.
