Media in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador

This is a list of media in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador.

Radio

St. John's is currently the only Canadian city served by radio stations whose call letters do not all begin with the letter C. The ITU prefix VO was assigned to the Dominion of Newfoundland before the province joined Canadian Confederation in 1949, and three AM stations kept their existing call letters; the Broadcasting Corporation of Newfoundland's VONF, however, was taken over by CBC Radio and adopted the new call sign CBN. However, radio stations in St. John's which went to air after 1949 use the same range of prefixes (CF–CK) currently in use elsewhere in Canada, with the exception of VOCM-FM, which was permitted to adopt the VOCM callsign because of its corporate association with the AM station that already bore that callsign. VO also remains in use in amateur radio.

Television

CJON-DT channel 21 is an independent station branded as "NTV", headquartered in St. John’s. The station sublicenses entertainment programming from Global and news programming from CTV and Global, rather than purchasing primary broadcast rights as most independent stations do.

CBC has its Newfoundland and Labrador headquarters in the city and their television station CBNT-DT channel 8 broadcasts from University Avenue.

Rogers Cable has its provincial headquarters in St. John’s, and its community channel Rogers TV airs local shows such as Out of the Fog and One Chef One Critic.

Network television in the United States is piped in from Boston and Detroit via Rogers Cable.

St. John's was featured on the Viceland show "Dead set on life" with Canadien Chef Matty Matheson.
