CH Weekend News Open (264kB, video):
The station's first ever newscast as "CH" was anchored by Phillip Campbell. This isn't exactly an opening animation: just the theme music played over a live shot of Victoria's Inner Harbour. This newscast came out of the newsroom, as the main studio was still being renovated.

CH News at Five Open (569kB, video):
The animation-less open didn't last long. They introduced an open animation the Monday following the switch (not that this one's action-packed either). The new set also made its debut on this newscast anchored by Hudson Mack. This open uses a version of the news theme slightly different from the one used in the last video.

Go! Open (415kB, video):
Go! is a new magazine program that came to the station along with the switch. This open basically features different people saying "Go!"

"CH News Final" 2001 Open (463kB, video)(NEW!)

"Sports Page" 2001 Open (962kB, video)
"Sports Page" 2001 Sting (142kB, video):
Sports Page moved here from CKVU during the affiliation switch in September 2001. However, the production of the show remained at CKVU's studio on 180 W 2nd, until December 16 when the production moved to the Global BC building in Burnaby. The set resembles the CH News set over in Victoria. On-air graphics and the open were only slightly modified, and the theme remained.

"CH News" 2002 Open (530kB, video):
CH News got a new look and a new news theme in mid-October 2002.
