:"CBCT" redirects here. For CBC Radio One's FM station in Charlottetown (96.1 FM), see CBCT-FM.CBCT-TV is the call sign for the CBC's television station in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, broadcasting on terrestrial channel 13 and local cable channel 11. Note that while most CBC-owned stations do not use the "-TV" suffix, the Charlottetown station is an exception due to co-owned CBCT-FM.

Prince Edward Island was the last province in Canada to get dedicated CBC Television service. CBCT first went on the air on July 1, 1956 as CFCY-TV, under the ownership of Island Radio Broadcasting (owned by the family of Col. Keith Rogers); CBC bought the station in 1968 and recalled it CBCT on August 1 of that year, as the province's small population did not warrant a second television station. CBCT remains as of 2008 the only television station originating programming in Prince Edward Island — all other television service in the province is provided by rebroadcasters of stations from New Brunswick.

CBCT acts as a semi-satellite station of CBHT. The flagship newscast, "", is anchored by Bruce Rainnie, and enjoyed very high ratings throughout Prince Edward Island. Broadcaster Mike Duffy began his career at CBCT.
