CHBC-DT (channel 2) is a television station in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada, part of the Global Television Network. It is owned and operated by network parent Corus Entertainment, and maintains studios on Leon Avenue (near Water Street) in Downtown Kelowna; its main transmitter is located on Blue Grouse Mountain in the Regional District of Central Okanagan.
Since the dismantling of the former E! television system and its switch to Global, CHBC has operated as a semi-satellite of sister station CHAN-DT in Vancouver, airing the majority of its programming in pattern, but with evening newscasts covering the Okanagan region. Due to cost cutting measures by Corus, CHBC's local newscasts began to be produced from CHAN-DT's studios in August 2024, presented by a single anchor with contributions from local reporters.
