The channel was formerly owned by Tribune Media (through its Tribune Broadcasting subsidiary) since its debut; it was one of three flagship media properties owned by the company, alongside radio station WGN (720 AM) and CLTV's news partners, independent station WGN-TV (channel 9) until 2019 after Nexstar Media Group acquired Tribune Media. The Chicago Tribune, owned by Tribune Publishing since Tribune's publishing assets were spun-off in summer 2014, along with Tribune's suburban partners, continued to contribute some CLTV content until its closure. CLTV operated from the studios of WGN-TV on Bradley Place in Chicago's North Center neighborhood.
Nexstar Media Group announced on December 16, 2019, that it would shut down CLTV on December 31, 2019, which occurred at 6:00 p.m. CST.
