CKRN-DT (branded on-air as Radio-Canada Télévision CKRN) is a privately owned French language television station affiliated with Ici Radio-Canada Télé in Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, Canada, which essentially functions as a semi-satellite of Montreal Radio-Canada flagship station CBFT-DT due to not having alternative non-network sources of programming available. It broadcasts a digital signal on VHF channel 9 (or virtual channel 4.1 via ) from a transmitter near Chemin Powell (north of Route 101) in Rouyn-Noranda.
Owned by RNC Media, it is sister to TVA outlet CFEM-DT and Val-d'Or V outlet CFVS-DT, and all three share studios located on Avenue Murdoch and Avenue de la Saint Anne in Rouyn-Noranda. This station can also be seen on Câblevision du Nord de Québec channel 7 and digital channel 411.
The station commenced broadcasting on December 25, 1957 as then-Radio-Nord's first television station, sharing its callsign with its radio sister station, CKRN AM 1400 (now CHOA-FM 96.5). It was originally a dual affiliate of Radio-Canada and the English-language CBC. The CBC subsequently launched a rebroadcaster in Malartic of its English Montreal affiliate CBMT in the area in 1961, CBVD-TV channel 5, and CKRN dropped its English programming in 1962.
