CHRO-TV, VHF analogue channel 5, is a CTV Two owned-and-operated television station licensed to Pembroke, Ontario, Canada. The station is owned by Bell Media, as part of a twinstick with CTV outlet CJOH-DT (channel 13). The two stations share studios – alongside Bell's Ottawa radio properties – located at the Market Media Mall building on 87 George Street in Downtown Ottawa's ByWard Market, and its transmitter is located on TV Tower Road near Pembroke; the station operates a digital-only rebroadcaster on UHF channel 43 in Ottawa. This station can also be seen on Rogers Cable channel 6 and in high definition on digital channel 595.
The station's Pembroke facility, which once housed its entire operation and produced a number of local shows, now employs only about one staff member - an on-call engineer. The Pembroke transmitter remains in operation, but the otherwise vacant studio building is now unused.
