List of transmitters of CHAN-DT
This is a list of transmitters of CHAN-DT, the Global Television Network owned-and-operated station in British Columbia. In addition to its main transmitters on digital channel 22 in Vancouver atop Mount Seymour, this station operates the largest private rebroadcaster network in North America, covering over 97% of the province of British Columbia. Nearly all of these transmitters were built in the 1970s and early 1980s, when the station was a CTV affiliate.
Note that some of the transmitters listed are either separately-licensed "semi-satellites" to allow for local advertising substituted by another local station (these are, specifically, CHKM, CHKL, and CIFG), or are locally-owned rebroadcasters.
Some areas not included in these tables are not served by transmitters. The station relies exclusively on cable and satellite to reach these areas.

Transmitters for the former CTV affiliate were never built on the north coast of the province. Coincidentally, there were already transmitters for private CBC affiliate CFTK.
The East Kootenay is served by CFCN instead of CHAN, and transmitters for the Pacific time zone affiliate (CIVT-DT) were never installed.
The Northeast Province is served by CFRN instead of CHAN, and transmitters for CHAN were never installed.
