Chilliwack – chillTV made its first mark on YouTube last fall when the YouTube channel broadcast the Municipal Election debates, followed by the October election night coverage and the Rotary Christmas Parade.
chillTV fills the gap left behind when Shaw closed down with Channel 4 local cable outlet and moved their equipment to BC1 and their Burnaby studios. The few staffers were let go and local programming was cast aside.
On Thursday at 5PM, chillTV will debut a weekly news magazine that reflects Chilliwack, Agassiz, Harrison, Cultus Lake, Rosedale, Yarrow and Greendale. Something that has been lacking for a couple of years.
This is where you come in. If you are a young journalist, camera operator, writer, crew or you want to be an anchor, chillTV wants to hear from you. chillTV is compiling a talent pool. Send your demo to news@chillTV.ca
