CHEX-TV-2 was originally a CBC Television affiliate until August 31, 2015, when it became an affiliate of CTV. On August 14, 2018, it was announced that CHEX-TV-2's affiliation agreement with CTV would expire on August 27; the station subsequently became a Global owned-and-operated station known as Global Durham as of September 6.
Although operating as a separate station from Peterborough sister station CHEX-DT, it retains the CHEX-DT-2 callsign used when the station operated as a rebroadcaster of CHEX.
