Valemount is one of seven communities in English-speaking Canada with a license to broadcast over the air community television. The station is commonly referred to as VCTV within the community. The station is also broadcast via satellite channel 653 on Telus and Bell Satellite TV to customers across Canada.

Between 2009 and 2011, VCTV produced a weekly news show called Valemount Live! The show was developed with the help of three summer students, Umesh Anghnoo, Coulter Beeson and Rosalyn Barr in the summer of 2009. The show follows a strict fake news format. The first year of the show was marred by a number of flops including a revolving door of anchors, including Coulter Beeson. Beeson's term was especially problematic as he was absent with numerous health issues including a sprained medula, biffida, biorigid nail syndrome and other ailments. Umesh Anghnoo, Rosalyn Barr, Andru McCracken, Jody Newham and Anne Marie Scott also filled the anchor's chair. In the beginning of 2010, Jody and Anne Marie became co-hosts.

More broadly, the Valemount Entertainment Society provides over the air television to Valemount and area. The society is run like a small cable system, signals are broadcast over the air and payment for those services are made through property taxes. The Valemount Entertainment Society is a non-profit society administered by a volunteer Board of Directors. In all they provide seven television channels and three radio stations and an emergency radio service.

In the event of a prolonged power outage or similar catastrophe where traditional communications are impossible or impractical, the society uses FM radio to provide critical messages to the people of Valemount. Residents are advised to keep a small battery powered radio for this purpose (with good batteries).
