An attempt to sell CHAB and CHRE to Western Broadcast Management Ltd. was denied on July 18, 1969 by the CRTC, which instead approved the sale of the stations to the CBC.

CKCK-TV, the previous Regina CBC affiliate, switched to CTV upon the CBC's purchase of CHRE and CHAB from Moffat. The station received its current call letters (with CBKMT recalled CBKT-1) in 1978.
