If your in Michigan ( Detroit area) it's there, same old channel 9 or 1009 HD.
Only reason we have it metro Detroit, we're above the 42d parallel, required for carrying the Canadian channels. All based on a US/Canadian agrement. Also we could get it OTA since their antenna was across from Detroit's downton in Windsor,ON. Canadien viewers routinely watched the American channels too.
This from wikipedia about CKLW (now CBET) in the 60's:
'There was some local programming and personalities during this era, including Toby David as Captain Jolly (and sidekick Poopdeck Paul), Art Cervi as Bozo the Clown (who would later move to WJBK-TV), and Bill Kennedy hosting Bill Kennedy's Showtime (which would soon relocate to WKBD-TV (channel 50) as Bill Kennedy At The Movies, with CKLW retaining the Showtime title).
Another popular show on CKLW-TV during the 1960s was Swingin' Time, a local teenage dance party show similar to American Bandstand, hosted by WKNR (now WDTW) radio personality Robin Seymour (and also, for a time, CKLW radio's Tom Shannon). The show featured recording artists, both nationally and locally popular, lip-synching to their latest releases while teenagers showcased the latest dances on the show's huge dance floor.
Due to the show's connection to Detroit's popular rock-and-roll AM radio stations, Swingin' Time was used by many artists, especially local acts such as The Supremes, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, the MC5, and Mitch Ryder, to reach a substantially larger teen audience than they could have achieved through solely working the record hop circuit.
Much like its radio counterparts (especially CKLW-AM, which became a Top 40 powerhouse in the Detroit market in the mid-1960s), the station looked more American than Canadian.'
Most cable systems were grandfathered in before the agreements were made, so it was also in Ohio. 😉

Looking at this list, I don't see that CBC (Canandian Broadcasting Corp) is carried outside of Canada.
