CFWH-TV (channel 6) was a CBC Television station in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada. Commencing transmissions on November 26, 1968, it was one of ultimately six Frontier Coverage Package stations in the Yukon; satellite delivery of colour television began on February 5, 1973. It was a part of the CBC North television system.
Prior to the launch of CFWH-TV and for several years thereafter, Whitehorse's WHTV cable TV system (now part of Northwestel Cable) carried a mix of prerecorded CBC, CTV and syndicated programs on channel 4 on its system, offered up to two weeks after their initial broadcasts on stations in southern Canada.
