CFSK (also commonly known as Global Saskatoon) is a television station which broadcasts out of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. It is part of the Global Television Network.
The station was launched on September 6, 1987 by Canwest Global. CFSK and its sister station in Regina, CFRE, were initially branded as STV (short for "Saskatchewan Television") until the Global identity was extended to all of Canwest's stations in 1997.
One of STV's major broadcasts in its early years was the children's program Size Small, which was syndicated around the world. (The show's host, Helen Lumby, officially launched the mini-network's first broadcast in 1987).
