CHEX-TV is a television station in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, and an affiliate of the CBC Television network. It began broadcasting on March 26, 1955, with an NHL ice hockey game. The station broadcasts over-the-air on channel 12.
It was founded by a media partnership that already published the Peterborough Examiner newspaper and owned radio station CHEX. The partnership included politician Rupert Davies, who was also involved in a similar arrangement in Kingston that established CKWS-TV. Since April 13, 2000, it has been owned by Canadian media conglomerate Corus Entertainment.
Local newscasts, branded as Newswatch, air weeknights at 5:30, 6:00, and 11:00 p.m, with repeats the next morning. Although, in early 2006, it agreed to extend its CBC affiliation "for years to come" ([1]), its proximity to Toronto's CBLT means that non-core network programming can be, and often is, preempted without causing a tremendous loss in CBC service to local cable viewers.
The main broadcast tower is 1,000 feet (305 m) high, making the top 1,842 feet above sea level.
CHEX-TV-2 in the Durham Region, formerly a semi-satellite, now airs a very different schedule from the Peterborough station.
