Chicagoland Television (branded on-air as CLTV) was an American regional cable news television channel located in Chicago, Illinois. The channel served the Chicago metropolitan area.
The channel was formerly owned by Tribune Media (through its Tribune Broadcasting subsidiary) since its debut; it was one of three flagship media properties owned by the company, alongside radio station WGN (720 AM) and CLTV's news partners, independent station WGN-TV (channel 9) until 2019 after Nexstar Media Group acquired Tribune Media. The Chicago Tribune, owned by Tribune Publishing since Tribune's publishing assets were spun-off in summer 2014, along with Tribune's suburban partners, continued to contribute some CLTV content until its closure. CLTV operated from the studios of WGN-TV on Bradley Place in Chicago's North Center neighborhood.
Nexstar Media Group announced on December 16, 2019, that it would shut down CLTV on December 31, 2019, which occurred at 6:00 p.m. CST.[1][2]
