Programming

CLTV focuses primarily on 24-hour news coverage. A one hour news broadcast is aired live, then rebroadcast again the next hour or sometimes two hours before a new live broadcast is put together and aired, repeating the cycle throughout the day. This is in a manner similar to CNN Headline News. CLTV broadcasts are similar in style and quality to other news broadcasts in Chicago with live shots, traffic, weather, sports, breaking news, and in depth pieces. Because they are exclusively a news station CLTV will often air local news events live in their entirety, such as press conferences and high profile speeches. CLTV also covers breaking news in the city and suburbs.

- Weekday live news broadcasts begin at 5:00am, on Saturdays and Sunday at 7:00am.

- CLTV re-broadcasts the WGN News at Noon at 1:00pm on weekdays and the WGN 9pm news at 11:00pm weekdays.

- Metromix airs on CLTV at 7:00pm, 8:00pm, 9:00pm, and midnight on Thursday and Friday and is a 30-minute program focusing on the Chicago area entertainment, restaurant, and social scene. Metromix is a television compliment to the Metromix section of the Chicago Tribune newspaper section of the same name.

- Other programs seen on CLTV are Metromix, Garrard McClendon Live, Homes Plus, Combatwire, Midwest Outdoors, and Fit Today.

- In 2002, CLTV began running paid programming in the overnight hours, usually from 1:00am until 3:30am.

-Sunday nights at 9:00pm Lou Canellis hosts the Sports Page Sunday Night Roundtable.

- CLTV periodically carries Cubs, Bulls, White Sox, and Blackhawks games. DePaul University airs a small number of men's and women's basketball games on CLTV each season.
