CJCH-DT is a Canadian television station, broadcasting in Halifax, Nova Scotia. It is an O&O of the CTV Television Network.
It is the flagship of the CTV Atlantic (ATV) regional system in the Maritimes, producing all of the system's programming except for some commercials and local news inserts on the other stations.
CJCH-TV first went on the air on January 1, 1961 as an independent station, and it became one of the original CTV stations when the network began operations on October 1, 1961. CHUM Limited sold CJCH-TV along with ATV and the Atlantic Satellite Network (ASN) to CTV in 1997, but kept the radio station. CTVglobemedia's acquisition of CHUM Limited on June 22, 2007 has brought CJCH-TV and CJCH-FM back under common ownership.

* The Bridgetown transmitter was among a long list of CTV rebroadcasters nationwide to shut down on or before August 31, 2009, as part of a political dispute with Canadian authorities on paid retransmission consent requirements for cable television operators.[1] A subsequent change in ownership assigned full control of CTV Globemedia to Bell Canada Enterprises; as of 2011, these transmitters remain in normal licensed broadcast operation.[2]
