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.

Famous quotes containing the words television, high and/or definition:
“There was a girl who was running the traffic desk, and there was a woman who was on the overnight for radio as a producer, and my desk assistant was a woman. So when the world came to an end, we took over.”
—Marya McLaughlin, U.S. television newswoman. As quoted in Women in Television News, ch. 3, by Judith S. Gelfman (1976)
“But hospitality must be for service, and not for show, or it pulls down the host. The brave soul rates itself too high to value itself by the splendor of its table and draperies. It gives what it hath, and all it hath, but its own majesty can lend a better grace to bannocks and fair water than belong to city feasts.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“No man, not even a doctor, ever gives any other definition of what a nurse should be than this—”devoted and obedient.” This definition would do just as well for a porter. It might even do for a horse. It would not do for a policeman.”
—Florence Nightingale (1820–1910)
