CFKS-DT is the V owned-and-operated television station in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada, operating as a de facto semi-satellite of Montreal owned-and-operated station CFJP-DT. It broadcasts a high-definition digital signal on UHF channel 30 from a transmitter in Orford.

Owned by V Media Group, a Remstar company, its studios are located on Boulevard Industriel/Route 220 and Boulevard de Portland in Sherbrooke. This station can also be seen on Vidéotron channel 5 and in high definition on digital channel 605.

History

The station went to air on September 7, 1986. It was originally launched by Cogeco as a private affiliate of TQS, which was then owned by Jean Pouliot. It became an O&O of the network in 2001 when Cogeco became the network's primary owner. The station was part of V's takeover by Remstar. Since the rebranding of the TQS network on August 31, 2009, CFKS dropped all non-network programming and become a de facto semi-satellite of Montreal O&O station CFJP-TV.
