CH (television system)
CH is a system of three local television stations across Canada, owned by Global.
The system was first formed in early 2001 when Global bought out the stations owned by Western International Communications. The station airs several hit U.S. programs, but often Global, which is carried in more cities nationwide than CH, cherry-picks some of CH's hits and airs them on the main network.
