CKPG-TV

On December 12, 1970, Brian "Spinner" Spencer, a rookie hockey player for the Toronto Maple Leafs from Fort St. James, was called up to play with the Leafs in what would be his first NHL game on television.

In 1988, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) renewed the network licence for CKPG-TV and Terrace station CFTK-TV, which allowed the two CBC affiliates to use the Corporation's microwave equipment to transfer syndicated programming, when it was not being used for CBC programming.

However, CKPG-TV instead aired a game between the Vancouver Canucks and the California Golden Seals instead of the Maple Leafs and the Chicago Blackhawks.
