CHNU-TV
From Free net encyclopedia
CHNU is a religious television station in Surrey, British Columbia, owned by Rogers Media. The station serves the Greater Vancouver and Fraser Valley Regional Districts. The station broadcasts on UHF channel 66, and is seen on cable channel 10 on area cable systems, cable 7 in Victoria.
Trinity Television, the original holder of the station's licence, initially requested the CFVT callsign for the station (with "FVT" standing for "Fraser Valley Television"). However, it was denied by the CRTC. The station went on air on September 15, 2001 under the CHNU call letters instead. In any case, the call letters had not featured prominently in the station's on-air branding, as the station opted to call itself "NOWTV".
After acquiring the station from Trinity Television, Rogers announced in late June 2005 that the station would be renamed OMNI Television British Columbia (also known as "Omni.10"), even though the OMNI brand had previously been associated only with multicultural stations. The rebrand occurred in September of that year, making CHNU the third station in the OMNI Television system.
