CJCH-DT is the CTV Canadian owned-and-operated television station, serving the Maritimes region, that is licensed to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. It broadcasts a high-definition digital signal on UHF channel 48 (or virtual channel 5.1 via ) from a transmitter located on Washmill Lake Drive in Halifax.
Owned by Bell Media, it is the flagship of the CTV Atlantic regional system, producing all of the system's programming except for some commercials and local news inserts on the other stations. Its studios are located on Robie and Russell Streets in Halifax. On Shaw Direct, the channel is available in high definition on channel 052 (Classic) or 552 (Advanced). This station can also be seen on Eastlink TV channel 9 and Bell Aliant channel 6. There is a high definition feed offered on EastLink TV digital channel 603 and Bell Aliant TV channel 402.
CJCH-TV first went on the air on January 1, 1961 as an independent station, and it became one of the original CTV stations when the network began operations on October 1, 1961. CHUM Limited sold CJCH-TV along with ATV and the Atlantic Satellite Network (ASN) to Baton Broadcasting (CTV) in 1997, but kept the radio station. CTVglobemedia's acquisition of CHUM Limited on June 22, 2007 has brought CJCH-TV and CJCH-FM back under common ownership.
