CHCH-DT

CHCH-DT is an independent television station serving the Golden Horseshoe region of Southern Ontario, Canada and is licensed to the city of Hamilton, it is the oldest privately owned television station in the Hamilton-Toronto area, having launched in 1954. It broadcasts a high-definition digital signal on VHF channel 11 from a transmitter near Glover Mountain and First Roads in Stoney Creek.

Owned by Channel Zero, its studios are located near the corner of Jackson and Caroline Streets in downtown Hamilton. This station can also be seen on Cogeco Cable channel 12 in Hamilton and Rogers Cable channels 11 and 121 in the Greater Toronto Area. There is also a high definition feed on Cogeco digital channel 707 in Hamilton and Rogers Cable digital channel 521 in the Greater Toronto Area.

CHCH has been an independent station for most of its existence, apart from its first seven years of operation when it was a CBC Television affiliate, and then from 2001 to 2009 when it was the flagship station of the now-defunct CH / E! system. Presently, it is a news-intensive independent station with 74 hours a week of locally produced newscasts geared primarily to the Golden Horseshoe region (including a prominent daytime rolling news block on weekdays), along with late night and weekend feature films, and first-run domestic and American entertainment programs during the evening hours.
