CHAU is a television station. It is the TVA affiliate in Carleton, Quebec and is owned by Télé Inter-Rives.

The station was launched on October 17, 1959, as a private affiliate of both the English and French networks of the CBC. It became an all-French station in 1968.

In 1983, the station joined the TVA network. Just prior to the change to TVA, CHAU carried programs from both Radio-Canada and TVA.

In addition to smaller communities in the Gaspé region of Quebec, CHAU also has three rebroadcast transmitters in New Brunswick.
