CKSH is a television station in Sherbrooke, Quebec. Owned and operated by Cogeco, it is a private affiliate of the SRC network.

The station first aired on September 19, 1974. Although a privately owned station, CKSH basically functions as a semi-satellite of CBFT in Montreal due to not having alternative non-network sources of programming available.

CKSH is seen on cable television systems throughout New England, serving the French American community. Its placement on the cable television system of Lowell, Massachusetts was the result of a long fight by leaders of the community in that city. It serves as a vital link to the Québécois culture in these communities.
