The company says in a statement issued Monday evening that the outage at the broadcast facility in Scarborough knocked CTV and CTV2 stations east of Winnipeg off the air, as well as the company's specialty channels.

It says websites and digital services were also impacted.

Bell says power has been restored.

Normal broadcasting was expected to resume soon, it said.
