NewNet

NewNet is a network of six local television stations owned by CHUM. Many of the stations are former CBC affiliates.

The stations in NewNet broadcast to smaller television markets that are close to larger ones (which are instead part of the Citytv brand) and never refer to themselves as NewNet, except in advertising transactions. Instead, each station is known as "The New XX", where XX is the last two call letters of each station.

NewNet stations are known to broadcast programs which are syndicated or aired on the smaller American television networks (such as UPN and The WB) in addition to a great deal of local programming and a few movies. Much of the primetime lineup on NewNet stations is comprised of United States programming.

The stations part of NewNet are:

• CKNX (The New NX), Wingham, Ontario
• CFPL (The New PL), London, Ontario
• CHRO (The New RO), Pembroke, Ontario (also serves Ottawa, Ontario)
• CIVI (The New VI), Victoria, British Columbia
• CKVR (The New VR), Barrie, Ontario
• CHWI (The New WI), Wheatley, Ontario (also serves Windsor, Ontario)
