CHEX-TV-2, UHF analogue channel 22, is a low-powered CTV-affiliated television station serving the Regional Municipality of Durham that is licensed to Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. The station is owned by Corus Entertainment. CHEX-TV-2 maintains studio facilities located on Simcoe Street (just north of King Street) in Downtown Oshawa, and its transmitter is located on Enfield Road in Clarington. Although branded on-air as "Global Durham", the station's Global content is limited to only news programming. The station is carried in Oshawa on Rogers Cable channel 12; the station is also available on Rogers Cable digital channel 129 in the Greater Toronto Area.
Although operating as a separate station from Peterborough sister station CHEX-DT, it retains the CHEX-TV-2 callsign used when the station operated as a rebroadcaster of CHEX.
CHEX-TV-2 ended its affiliation with CBC Television on August 31, 2015, when it became an affiliate of CTV.
Oshawa, although larger in population density than Peterborough, had not been granted a television station in the original channel assignments issued during the 1950s. Instead, the city was folded into the Toronto market. CHEX-TV-2 signed on the air in 1992, when CBC Television affiliate CHEX-TV in Peterborough began relaying its programming on a new rebroadcast transmitter in Oshawa; prior to 1988, the UHF channel 22 allocation had been used by CIII-TV's Toronto-area transmitter (and de facto flagship transmitter) in Uxbridge.
