CBC Television arose from the former Union TV, or UTV, broadcasting network.

There are fourteen different stations scattered throughout the Commonwealth, with at least one in each republic.  This wide diversity allows for a great degree of local control over what programs are aired during the regionally alotted time.

CBCTV is committed to airing entertaining and thought-provoking content.  It views the offering of alternative programming as its prime mandate and has taken to this task with great enthusiasm.  Among those programs aired, they include highly acclaimed news programs, documentaries, comedies, cultural programs and Commonwealth-produced movies.
