Global Television Network (more commonly called Global TV or just Global) is a Canadian English language privately owned television network. It is owned by CanWest MediaWorks Inc., a division of CanWest Global Communications which is headquartered in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Throughout the 1990s, it dominated primetime ratings in key markets such as southern Ontario and southwestern B.C., but had limited reach in certain areas such as Alberta until 2000. Nationally, it now ranks an increasingly strong second, behind CTV.
