CHEK News is an independent, employee-owned television broadcaster based in Victoria, British Columbia, serving Vancouver Island and nearby communities. It began broadcasting in December 1956 as British Columbia’s first privately owned television station. Local journalism remains central to its output, with daily newscasts built around Island news and regional reporting.

Newscasts built around Vancouver Island

CHEK produces daily editions of CHEK News at 5, CHEK News at 6 and CHEK Late News, covering local developments, weather and sports. The station’s reporting extends across Vancouver Island, including communities such as Victoria, Nanaimo, the Comox Valley and Campbell River. This regional focus distinguishes its news service from province-wide and national coverage.

Community stories and conversation

The Upside, hosted by Ed Bain and Jeff King, highlights positive stories from local communities. This Is VANCOLOUR with Mo Amir examines British Columbia culture and politics through conversation and interviews. Conversations That Matter brings long-form interviews with people working on significant public issues, while Donnie and Dhali – The Team covers sports headlines and local teams. Together, these programmes extend CHEK’s schedule beyond daily news bulletins into community features, discussion and sport.

A locally owned station with a broad remit

CHEK’s employee-owned structure and Vancouver Island base have shaped its identity since its launch. Its programming combines local news, weather and sports with interview and community formats, keeping regional subjects at the centre of the station’s output.
