CIHF-DT

CIHF-DT (branded on-air as Global Maritimes) is the Global owned-and-operated television station, serving the Canadian Maritime provinces that is licensed to Halifax, Nova Scotia. It broadcasts a high-definition digital signal on VHF channel 8 from a transmitter located on Washmill Lake Drive in Halifax.

It also operates a semi-satellite in Saint John, New Brunswick, CIHF-DT-2, which broadcasts on VHF channel 12. This feed serves transmitters in New Brunswick as well as Prince Edward Island. Prior to 2009, the New Brunswick feed had broadcast an annual charity telethon from Saint John. Currently, a separate New Brunswick newscast, as well as localized commercials, air on the New Brunswick transmitters.

Owned by Shaw Media, its studios are located on Akerley Boulevard (near Fielding Avenue) in Dartmouth. This station can also be seen on EastLink TV channel 6, Bell Aliant TV channel 4, Bell TV channel 204 (channel 198 for the Saint John feed) and Shaw Direct channel 329 (the New Brunswick feed was previously available through Star Choice/Shaw Direct on channel 330, but was dropped in May 2008 for capacity reasons). There is a high definition feed offered on Eastlink TV digital channel 602 and Bell Aliant TV channel 402.
