CBHT-DT (channel 3) is a CBC Television station in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. The station's studios are located on Chebucto Road in Halifax, and its transmitter is located on Washmill Lake Drive (near Bently Drive) on the city's west side.

CBHT-DT serves as CBC's Atlantic Time Zone flagship station. The station broadcasts the network's schedule in local time, except during live events.[1] CBHT also became Cape Breton Island's CBC station, when CBIT-TV was closed in 2012 as part of the CBC's digital transition.

  1. ^ If a viewer has a digital cable box or satellite receiver, the CBHT feed shows regular network programming an hour before the Toronto feed, and four hours before the Vancouver feed, and is sometimes referred to as "time-shifting" by cable and satellite operators.
