CHEM-DT (channel 8) is a television station in Trois-Rivières, Quebec, Canada, owned and operated by the French-language network TVA. The station's studios are located on Boulevard de Chanoine-Moreau and Rue Jacques de Labadie in Trois-Rivières, with a transmitter on Rue Principale in Notre-Dame-du-Mont-Carmel.
History
The station was founded on August 29, 1976, and was owned by Telemedia. It was originally a semi-satellite of CHLT-TV in Sherbrooke, and has been a TVA station for its entire existence. Pathonic Communications bought CHEM and four other stations in 1979. Sometime in the 1980s, CHEM severed the electronic umbilical cord with CHLT and became a full-fledged station. Télé-Metropole, owner of TVA flagship station CFTM-TV in Montreal, bought Pathonic in 1989, and since then CHEM has essentially been a semi-satellite of CFTM.
