CHOT-TV is a television station in Gatineau, Quebec, Canada. It is affiliated with the TVA network, and also serves Franco-Ontarians in the neighbouring city of Ottawa, Ontario. The station broadcasts on channel 40, and it is owned by RNC Media as a twinstick with CFGS, the market's V affiliate.
The station launched in 1978, following the bankruptcy of the region's earlier TVA affiliate CFVO.
The station airs a 30-minute local newscast every weekday at 6:00pm anchored by Louka Jacques. In the past, CHOT had local news on weekends and a 15-minute noon newscast on weekdays, but recent cuts made by RNC Media had these newscasts replaced with Montreal-based TVA network news programs.

Digital television and high definition
As of March 2009, CHOT-TV has not yet began broadcasting in digital.
After the analog television shutdown and digital conversion, which is tentatively scheduled to take place on August 31, 2011 [1], CHOT-TV is required to begin digital broadcasts on its current assigned and analog channel number, 40, however should the station sign-on before the analog shut off date, the station will broadcast on channel 15. However, through the use of PSIP, digital television receivers will display CHOT-TV's virtual channel as 40.1.
