=== Superstation CHCH (1982β1997) === [[File:CHCH1990s.png|thumb|left|100px|The CHCH-TV logo during the early-to-mid-1990s, before the station's rebranding to ONtv]] CHCH became a national [[superstation]] on January 1, 1982, when Cancom (now [[Shaw Broadcast Services]]) began carrying the station and three others ([[CHAN-TV]] in Vancouver, [[CITV-TV]] in Edmonton, and TCTV, which was essentially a rebroadcaster of [[CFTM-TV]] in Montreal) to cable television providers in remote regions of the country that otherwise only had access to the CBC. During the late 1980s and early 1990s, the station began a branding effort centred around the slogan "Together, we're the ones!" Different promotional slogans referring to either Hamilton or Ontario as a whole, reflecting the station's cable coverage across the province, and a blue-coloured, 3D variation of the longtime "circles" logo were used. Promos had a vocal song from [[Frank Gari]] which was part of the ''Pride Inside'' music package also used by the station's newscasts and movie presentations (originally commissioned by another channel 11 which is [[WBAL-TV]] in [[Baltimore]]).
