CFVO-TV is a defunct television station that broadcasted from Hull, Quebec. It was the immediate predecessor to today's CHOT-TV, and launched on September 1, 1974 under the ownership of a company known as La Coopérative de Télévision de l'Outaouais. CFVO transmitted on channel 30, broadcasting mostly TVA network programming with various local shows.
Unfortunately, the station lost a lot of money in its venture and, as a result, CFVO went bankrupt and left the air on March 30, 1977. SRC station CBOFT-TV picked up a secondary affiliation with TVA until CHOT-TV went on the air in 1978.
The channel 30 position has since been occupied by local Télé-Québec station CIVO-TV. Until that station signed on, that channel position was dark for a period of time, making CFVO known to be the first, and, so far, only station to have actually gone dark. All other defunct stations in Canada became repeaters almost seamlessly.
