CHEK NEWS is Your Island's Own -- independent and employee-owned!
CHEK has served Vancouver Island since 1956. It was the first private TV station in BC. In September 2009, with overwhelming support from communities across Vancouver Island, CHEK employees and local investors purchased the station to ensure the Island's most watched news remained on-air.
Here at CHEK Media we are expanding at a rapid rate. CHEK Media is Victoria, BC’s leading television broadcast and video production company. We are a multi-platform operation that serves local, regional, and national clients.
