Television

Until August 2009, Red Deer was served by a local television station, CHCA-TV channel 6, carrying programming from Canada's E! network. CHCA closed on August 31, 2009 due to economic troubles endured by its parent company, Canwest.^[1]

All of the city's other television services are rebroadcasters of stations from Edmonton. Red Deer is not designated as a mandatory market for digital television conversion, although all of the rebroadcasters are now full converted over to Digital Television as of November 2023.

• Channel 4.1: CKEM-DT-1, Citytv
• Channel 8: CFRN-DT-6, CTV
• Channel 10.1: CITV-DT-1, Global

After CHCA dropped its longtime affiliation with CBC Television in 2005, Edmonton's CBXT set up a rebroadcaster in Red Deer. Radio-Canada outlet CBXFT already operated a rebroadcaster there, and both stations had been available for decades on cable in the city. They were shut down with the CBC's other rebroadcasters in 2012, meaning Red Deer residents need cable or satellite to watch CBC and Radio-Canada programming. Few residents lost access, however, due to the extremely high penetration of cable and satellite in the area.

Cable television in Red Deer is served by Rogers Communications(formerly Shaw Communications), who operates a local community channel under the "Rogers TV" name. Discounting Rogers TV, Red Deer, with a population approaching 100,000, is one of the largest standalone urban centres in Canada (i.e. one that is not part of a larger metropolitan area) without a local TV station.
