aired on weekend mornings; this secondary affiliation ended with the launch of CBUFT in 1976. CBUT was known mainly as Channel 2 from its inception until 1976. Since then, it has been known as CBC British Columbia.

During the station's early years until 1976, CBUT's station IDs consisted of slides of local Vancouver landmarks with the CBUT logo (the number 2 in Clarendon Bold typeface, contained within a stylized TV screen) added, with the announcement "This is CBUT, Channel 2 in Vancouver", while the ID slide used at the end of local programs on CBUT was a larger version of the station logo on a navy blue background with the announcement "This is CBC Television, Vancouver". Beginning with the introduction of CBC's "gem" logo in December 1974, CBUT (unlike other CBC O&Os, which continued using station IDs at the end of their local shows) began using the "gem" network ID at the end of all programming, network and local.

In 1975, CBC consolidated its radio and TV operations into one building. Prior to this, CBC's radio operations in Vancouver (CBU

. As of 2002, the station only aired sporadic local non-news programming and dropped all use of local station IDs in favour of using only network IDs, and in budget cuts, the CBC integrated CBUT's master control (as did all other owned stations) into Toronto's master control. Recently, however, local programming on CBUT has increased with the introduction of a locally themed lifestyles program, Living Vancouver (which has since been cancelled), as well as the addition of several new local newscasts. http://www.canada.com/theprovince/columnists/story.html?id=14cd0ba9-b010-4950-a9d1-5a90edc19794
