CHLT's original owner was the La Tribune newspaper (which explains the "LT" in the callsign). The station went on the air for the first time on August 12, 1956 as an affiliate of both CBC and Radio-Canada (SRC), and immediately became a node in the SRC microwave network. Shortly after CHLT's launch, it held the title of the most prolific private television station in Canada in terms of local programming, as it went on the air sooner in the morning than most other Quebec TV stations and needed all those local shows to fill its schedule.
When CKSH-TV went on the air in 1974, it took all SRC programming away from CHLT, prompting CHLT to switch to the TVA network. Five years later, Pathonic Communications acquired CHLT and five other TV stations. Shortly after Pathonic's acquisition by Télé-Métropole in 1989, CHLT became a semi-satellite of CFTM-TV, which it is now. CHLT used to be carried in Montreal, on CF Cable and Vidéotron. CF Cable stopped carrying CHLT in the early 1990's, and Vidéotron discontinued its carriage of the station in 1995, despite the fact that the signal from CHLT reaches Montreal over-the-air. The CHLT signal also reaches northwestern Maine.
CHLT broadcasts TVA network programming at all times, except when it airs its local newscasts (carried on Bell ExpressVu at 6:00 ~ 6:30 p.m. ET).
