After months of negotiation, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) approved the split of WIC's assets between Canwest, Corus Radio and Shaw Communications.
•
All of station's transmitters must begin broadcasting in digital before August 31, 2016, as part of a promise Shaw made to the CRTC during its acquisition of Canwest.

CHBC's studios are located on Leon Avenue (near Water Street) in Kelowna, and its main transmitter is located near Lambly Creek Road in Central Okanagan; CHBC also operates 18 rebroadcast transmitters across the southeastern part of the province.
On October 4, 2007, Global's then-parent company Canwest announced it would be centralizing news production control room functions for all O&Os (except CHBC Kelowna) at four broadcast centres - CHAN Vancouver, CITV Edmonton, CICT Calgary, and CIII Toronto.
