History
CHOG-DT had begun in 1987 as a French language independent TV station owned by River Media of. Throughout it's 16-year long tenure as a French independent the station struggled financially.

On May 28, 2003, CHOG went dark. Shortly afterwards, bought CHOG directly from River Media's liquidators. CHOG was relaunched on June 2, 2003 as the third station of the Citytv system after  and. CHOG chose to feature both and  in it's Citytv idents and brand as Citytv Ottawa-Gatineau, seeing that the station was licensed to Gatineau but serving Ottawa and the rest of the National Capital Region as well. A new morning program (Breakfast Television, based on the format originated on CITY-TV) was launched immediately after the rebrand, and new 6:00 and 11:00 p.m. newscasts branded as CityPulse were launched on the same day (later to be renamed CityNews in 2005).

News operation
CHOG presently broadcasts 29 hours of locally produced newscasts each week, consisting of three hours each weekday of Citytv's morning show Breakfast Television, and two hour-long nightly newscasts under the CityNews brand.

During its Francophone years, CHOG branded its newscasts simply as Actualités 22. Upon converting to the English-language Citytv system, the station began airing new newscasts branded as CityPulse. CityPulse became known as CityNews by 2005.

The station's news operations underwent significant changes in July 2006 following the announcement of Bell Globemedia's acquisition of CHUM Limited; CHOG's 6:00 and 11:00 p.m. evening newscasts were cancelled, while the station's morning show Breakfast Television was expanded from three hours to four.

On June 5, 2017, Rogers announced that it would re-launch local 6:00 and 11:00 p.m. CityNews newscasts in Ottawa in early 2018, as part of a nationwide restoration of news programming to Citytv's owned-and-operated broadcast stations. The new programs launched on September 3, 2018. Uniquely, CHOG-DT has anchors for their CityNews Ottawa newscasts (compared to it's sister stations using the typical "anchorless" format for CityNews), broadcasting from a separate studio inside the Shaw Centre in Downtown Ottawa.
