CHAN has been broadcasting in digital since April 11, 2008 on channel 22 and will continue to do so on this channel after the digital transition deadline of August 31, 2011. On June 29, 2011, CHAN-DT increased its effective radiated power (ERP) from 8.3 kW to its post-transitional allotment of 40 kW. Note that the Vancouver transmitter is the station's only one required to go digital by the transition deadline. Shaw Communications has committed to converting all of the other over-the-air transmitters to digital by 2016.
Through the use of PSIP, digital television receivers display CHAN-DT's virtual channel as 8.1. The station's electronic program guide began functioning properly on January 28, 2012.
