Until that station signed on, that channel position was dark for a period of time, making CFVO the first major television station in Canadian history to have actually gone dark, and the only one until CHCA-TV in Red Deer, Alberta & CKX-TV in Brandon, Manitoba closed in 2009 along with three stations in 2011 -- CJAL-TV Edmonton, CIAN-TV Calgary & CKXT-DT (formerly CKXT-TV) Toronto.
Despite serving part of the Greater Toronto Area, as an Oshawa-licensed station, CHEX-TV-2 was not required to participate in the August 31, 2011 digital switch for major markets, and thus is now the last remaining analogue television signal still operating in the GTA.
