CBSH-DT, virtual and VHF digital channel 10, is a CBC Television owned-and-operated station licensed to Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada and serving Anglo-Quebecers in Sherbrooke and the Estrie region. The station is owned by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. It's studios are co-located with its Francophone sister TV & radio stations on Rue King Ouest in Sherbrooke, and its transmitter is located in Orford. Since 2014, CBSH-DT has originated the set of repeaters known as the Quebec Community TV Network, with a special mandate to provide service to the province's anglophone minority.

History

The station first signed on the air on September 19, 1974. As a privately owned station, CBSH basically functioned as a semi-satellite of CBMT (channel 2) in Montreal due to not having alternative non-network sources of programming available. After several years, CBSH began airing its own local news and a few programs not carried by CBMT.

Programming

The flagship local newscast, CBC News Eye on Quebec, is currently anchored by Paul Rowlandson. It is produced with production assistance from sister station CKSH-DT; several on-air reporters and anchors within CKSH's newsroom have been bilingual, allowing reporters to file stories for both stations.
