CHFD-TV is a Canadian television station. It is a CTV affiliate, broadcasting on channel 4 and cable 6 in Thunder Bay, and via a transmitter in the Armstrong area (CKAR-TV, channel 8 with an ERP of 0.01kw). It can also be seen on the Bell ExpressVu (channel 222) and Star Choice (channel 314) satellite services.

The station is part of the Thunder Bay Television twinstick with the CBC affiliate CKPR, owned by Dougall Media. It is one of only three CTV-affiliated stations in Canada that are not owned and operated directly by CTV.

CHFD airs some programming purchased from Global, such as Saturday Night Live and Brothers & Sisters, and from E!, such as Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. It also airs programmes which do not air on other broadcast channels in Canada, such as TSN's SportsCentre and Channel 4's A Place in the Sun. CHFD airs a variety of religious programming, such as This is Your Day, 100 Huntley Street, and the Hour of Power, and various infomercials. Locally produced programmes include Officially Rugged and a variety of news programming.^[1] CTV programming displaced from the station during broadcasts of other programming occasionally airs on CKPR.

CHFD went on the air for the first time on October 14, 1972.
