On February 23, 2010, the station received approval from the CRTC to broadcast in digital from Mount Seymour rather than from its current analog transmitter on Saltspring Island. This transmitter improved signal coverage for the Vancouver and Fraser Valley areas, but reception in Victoria was reduced. CKVU-DT signed on the air on March 2, 2010.
After the analog television shutdown and digital conversion, which took place on August 31, 2011, CKVU shut down its analog signal. On that date, it began broadcasting in digital on channel 33 instead of channel 47 from Mount Seymour. Until August 31, 2011, channel 33 was used by CIVT-DT. CKVU improved its digital coverage on August 31, 2011, by broadcasting from a new transmitter in Victoria, which had been approved by the CRTC. These two digital transmitters replaced the majority of the coverage area previously covered by its channel 10 analog transmitter and improved coverage within the Vancouver and Victoria metropolitan areas.

Famous quotes containing the words television, high and/or definition:
“Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention. While parents tout the virtues of premarital virginity, drug-free living, nonviolent resolution of social conflict, or character over physical appearance, their values are daily challenged by television soaps, rock music lyrics, tabloid headlines, and movie scenes extolling the importance of physical appearance and conformity.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
“Oh high is the price of parenthood,
And daughters may cost you double.
You dare not forget, as you thought you could,
That youth is a plague and a trouble.”
—Phyllis McGinley (20th century)
“It’s a rare parent who can see his or her child clearly and objectively. At a school board meeting I attended . . . the only definition of a gifted child on which everyone in the audience could agree was “mine.””
—Jane Adams (20th century)
