City TV was a free-to-air terrestrial television channel in Singapore, owned by state media conglomerate MediaCorp.

The channel was originally launched by the Television Corporation of Singapore (TCS) on 30 January 2000 as Sportscity, which initially focused on regional and international sports. In May 2001, amid low viewership, MediaCorp relaunched the channel as City TV, which primarily featured Chinese-language entertainment programming in daytime and prime time on weekdays, relegating sports programming to late-night hours and weekends. On 11 January 2002, City TV was shut down, with MediaCorp citing low advertising revenue.
