| Summary | The region's number one newscast choice! |
| Description | CHEX Television hit the airwaves on March 26, 1955, as an affiliate of the CBC Network, serving East Central Ontario and the Kawartha Lakes region of Ontario from studios in Peterborough.
The station was owned by Roy Thomson (49%) and the Davies family (51%) owners of the Peterborough Examiner newspaper. The same partnership had put CKWS-TV Kingston on the air in December of 1954. The Davies family also owned the Kingston Whig-Standard newspaper. The family consisted of Senator Rupert Davies, Robertson Davies and Arthur Davies. Also owned by the group was CHEX-AM and CKWS-AM, so the progression to TV was a natural extension of their interest in broadcasting. |
