Toronto, Ontario, May 1, 2026 — Starting May 5, 2026, TVO customers in the Chatham area who rely on over-the-air (OTA)TV service may experience service disruptions. These disruptions are due to planned work by Hydro One to replace hydro poles in the area.
Based on information provided by Hydro One, we expect the service disruption to last at least until 5:00pm.
Customers should note that this issue is issue related to planned work by Hydro One, and no adjustments to your receiving antennas or equipment are required. Customers watching TVO through cable TV or satellite services, or accessing TVO online, will not be impacted.
We apologize for any inconvenience this disruption may cause. TVO programming can always be viewed on our websites – TVO.org and TVOkids.com, or on our YouTube channels.
If you have further questions, please reach out to asktvo@tvo.org or by calling us at 1.800.436.6886.
