CKTB (610 kHz) is a commercial radio station in St. Catharines, Ontario. It is owned by Bell Media and it airs a news-talk radio format. Its studios are on Yates Street in downtown St. Catharines, in the former mansion of William Hamilton Merritt, the main promoter of the first Welland Canal.
CKTB is a Class B AM station. By day, it is powered at 10,000 watts; at night, to protect other stations on 610 AM from interference, it reduces power to 5,000 watts. It uses a directional antenna with a five-tower array.[1] The transmitter is on Grassy Brook Road east of Port Robinson.[2]
