:For the system that operated in Manitoba and Alberta from 1997 to 2005, see A-Channel (Craig Media).
A-Channel, previously known as the NewNet, is a Canadian English language privately-owned television system owned by CTV Limited, a division of CTVglobemedia. The current A-Channel system consists of five television stations in Southern Ontario and one in British Columbia.
CHUM Limited, A-Channel's former parent company, acquired the brand as part of its purchase of Craig Media in 2004. At the time the A-Channel brand was associated with Craig's television stations in Winnipeg, Calgary, and Edmonton. When CHUM purchased Craig Media, the A-Channel stations formerly owned by Craig became part of the Citytv system, while the NewNet stations were rebranded under the A-Channel banner (both television networks were previously under common ownership by CHUM Limited).
