It opened in 1975, predating 4 years before CFMT-DT, as a rebroadcaster for CBRT in Calgary, since both CICT in Calgary & CISA in Lethbridge dropped CBC affiliation since the network’s own station opened.

In July 31, 2012, CBRT-6, as it was called in Lethbridge, moved from CBC to OMNI, as there has been channel for the other three networks. At 12:01 AM, CBRT-6 shut down its analog transmitter and flash cut to digital. It later changed its callsign to CJCO-DT-1. It also airs its own separate newscast for Lethbridge.
