A-Channel (TV network) – The current title is uncommon disambiguation not supported by
WP:NCBC. According to the article, The A-Channel is a
television system. According to
television system in Canada, a television system is a group of television stations which share common ownership, branding and programming, but which for some reason does not satisfy the criteria necessary for it to be classified as a television network under Canadian law. As the term "television system" has no legal definition, and as most audiences and broadcasters usually refer to groups of stations with common branding and programming as "networks" regardless of their structure, the distinction between the two entities is often not entirely clear; indeed, the term is rarely discussed outside the Canadian broadcasting enthusiast community
. Seeing as how the article says that the definition of "television system" is rarely discussed outside the Canadian broadcasting enthusiast community
, that seems like using "television system" as disambiguation would be
MOS:JARGON and per
WP:RECOGNIZABILITY should be avoided. So per WP:NCBC "(TV network)" is the better option.

I had no idea how entertaining these television articles were, now I understand why you edit them!

which are currently operated by Bell Media under the CTV 2 banner
It was competing— this could be construed as a business rivalry instead of two competing bids. I had to reread this section to understand "The AltaWest bid" part.
The AltaWest bid was part of CanWest's bid to turn Global into a third national network and envisioned a main station in Calgary.— two things: "envisioned" is conflicting tense-wise, and the sentence is a bit confusing. CanWest, on their own, hasn't been established, nor has their bid. As well, the article leads you to connect "CanWest" and "Global", so referring to them seperately is a bit odd. I was thinking something like: "CanWest Global's plan to turn itself...", but I imagine its not technically correct.
Many of the issues came down to the tapeless playback and editing system— I would clarify/hammer home that, using the system, many news stories ended up lost from the hard drive.
lagged the CBC— is this a common phrase? If not, use "lagged behind".
Craig established the A-Channel Production Fund— when? I'd consider moving/incorporating this section elsewhere, as it feels a bit out of place.
bring the licence terms of its Alberta and Manitoba stations in line— perhaps: "renew the licence terms"?

Citations are fully formatted. All passages are cited to reliable newspapers, primarily local to Edmonton or Calgary. I've looked at a handful of sources and have found little close paraphrasing or copyvio. However, I have three quibbles.

At one news conference, a local politician saw an A-Channel cameraman enter the room and began mouthing his words without speaking.— I'm likely missing something, but I couldn't find this in the source.
